The Bipartisan Policy Center in Washington, DC hosted an excellent discussion yesterday on targeted killing in which "[p]anelists evaluated issues like the current frameworks regarding the use of drones, the ramifications of a 'drone court,' the targeting of U.S. citizens abroad, and whether Congress should examine what these policies mean for the country." John Bellinger spoke at the event---which was introduced by Thomas Kean, former governor of New Jersey---and featured Mark Mazzetti of the New York Times, Hina Shamsi of the ACLU, and Philip Zelikow of the University of Virginia. Mike Hurley of the Bipartisan Policy Center moderated. The full video is below:
