And it says dear senator -- it has come to my attention that you have now asked an additional question.
Does the president have the authority to use a -- -- drone to kill an American not engaged in combat on American soil.
The answer to that question.
Is no sincerely.
Eric Holder.
How rave for thirteen hours yesterday we asked them that question and so there is a result in a victory.
Under duress and under public humiliation.
The White House will respond and do the right thing.
It took a month and a half to get them to admit that the CIA doesn't operate in the United States that's been the -- since 1947.
