NYTimes Loses Suit to Uncover Drone Strike Information
Wednesday, a federal judge rejected The New York Times’ bid to force the U.S. government to disclose more information about its targeted killing of people it believes have ties to terrorism, including American citizens, a Reuters article reports.
U.S. District Judge Colleen McMahon in Manhattan says the Obama administration did not violate the law by refusing the Times’ request for the legal justifications for targeted killings, a strategy the Times says was first contemplated by the Bush administration soon after 9/11, the article reports.
