Predators over Pakistan, My New Weekly Standard Essay

By Kenneth Anderson

ADVERTISEMENTS

Well, ?polemic? is probably closer to it. Regular readers have been hearing about this piece for a while, and I have posted various arguments from it (concerning targeted killing and Predator drones and the CIA and armed conflict and self-defense, and my general concern that the Obama administration has embraced a policy that its lawyers have not so far stood up publicly to defend as lawful against its gradually emerging critics in the international ?soft law? community) here at Volokh and over at Opinio Juris. I will post a couple of comments on the piece later, including of couple of things I wish I had clarified or said differently (and open it up for comments then). Meanwhile, if you are interested, it is the cover in this week?s Weekly Standard (March 8, 2010). It is also very, very long, at some 8,000 words ? for which I am deeply grateful to the WS?s editors but you perhaps will not be ? and so you might find it easier to read a pdf of the print edition at SSRN.
