Summary
"The authors offer a detailed examination of the speeches of the Obama administration on national security legal issues. Viewed together her for the first time, they lay out a broad array of legal and policy positions regarding a large number of principles currently contested at both the domestic and international level. The book describes what the Obama administration has said about the legal framework in which it is operating with respect to such questions as the nature of the war on terrorism, the use of drones and targeted killings, detention, trial by military commission and federal courts, and interrogation. The authors analyze this framework, examining the stresses on it and asking where the administration got matters right and where it went wrong. They conclude with suggestions for reforms to the framework for the administration and Congress to consider"--Publisher's description.
