Obama Aide: Constitution Makes Strikes Lawful Anywhere on Planet.

Fresh off of an interview yesterday in which he shrugged off civilian killings in the US drone war, top White House adviser John O.

This time, Brennan centered on the legality of the strikes, insisting that not only does the Constitution allow the president to assassinate people anywhere on the planet, but that the drone program was “legal, ethical and wise.”
