Isikoff: Obama Using "Elastic" Interpretations To Justify Drones
"Remember, we are talking about targeted killings of Americans, we are talking about making decisions based on secret intelligence, and we see in this memo that some of the definitions are a bit more elastic and open to interpretation than the administration has publicly let on," NBC investigation reporter Michael Isikoff said on Tuesday night's broadcast of MSNBC's "The Rachel Maddow Show."
"The U.S. believes that the target has in the past been involved in such violent activities and the target has not renounced such activities it can be assumed that they are an imminent threat now and that that would justify an attack," Isikoff explained.
