  1. Should U.S. citizens in Al Qaeda be tried for treason?

    In my <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-mcmanus-drones-20130210,0,6759551.column">Sunday column</a>, I wrote that it&rsquo;s past time for the Obama administration to subject its nomination of suspected terrorists for the &ldquo;kill list&rdquo; -- secret death warrants, to put it bluntly -- to some form of independent review, at least when the targets are U.S. citizens.

  4. McManus: The other drone question

    It has been 11 years since the United States began using missile-firing drones to attack Al Qaeda in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia.

    Thursday's confirmation hearings for John Brennan, President Obama's nominee to head the Central Intelligence Agency, offer a rare opportunity for senators to press the architect of the administration's policy of targeted killings about its legal rationale and practical application. The urgency of such an inquiry was underlined by the release this week of a troubling Justice Department document suggesting that the administration asserts the authority to assassinate suspected terrorists, including U.S. citizens, even when they aren't planning an imminent attack &mdash; guidelines that could allow for a broad expansion of executive power to authorize such killings.
