Philip Alston said that unless the Obama administration explains the legal basis for targeting particular individuals and the measures it is taking to comply with international humanitarian law which prohibits arbitrary executions, "it will increasingly be perceived as carrying out indiscriminate killings in violation of international law."

That's just silly. We're either targeting particular individuals or carrying out indiscriminate killings. Take your pick. It can't be both.

It’s absurd. We should just say we’re targeting their cars and cell-phones. Material assets are always legitimate targets.
