  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.

  2. 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. But only now are we beginning a full public debate on this new form of warfare, and it took the nomination of the Obama administration's drone czar, John Brennan, as director of the Central Intelligence Agency, to force it.

  3. Targeted killings: What are the limits?

    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.

    <span class="runtimeTopic">WASHINGTON</span> -- A secret Senate report on harsh CIA interrogations of terrorism suspects makes &ldquo;rather damning&rdquo; allegations of mismanagement and misrepresentation by CIA officers that must be investigated, President Obama&rsquo;s nominee to be CIA director said at his confirmation hearing.

  8. Targeted killings: they are too secret

    There are reasons to be relieved by — and concerned about — the reports that the Obama administration is preparing a "playbook" of rules for targeted killings of suspected terrorists abroad. If drone-strike assassinations — which have...

  11. Interrogating Brennan

    It was obvious even before he was nominated that Chuck Hagel, President Obama's choice to be secretary of Defense, would undergo searching scrutiny by the U.S. Senate. But that body also needs to examine thoroughly the man who shared the stage with Hagel on Monday: John Brennan, whom the president nominated to succeed David H. Petraeus as director of the Central Intelligence Agency.

  12. When senators play movie critic

    I won&rsquo;t be able to watch &ldquo;Zero Dark Thirty&rdquo; until next weekend. Bizarrely, a movie that is become a cause celebre in Washington, D.C., isn&rsquo;t available yet to residents of the nation&rsquo;s capital. But you don&rsquo;t have to have seen the movie to question the PR offensive Sen. Dianne Feinstein and some of her colleagues have launched against it.
