Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) has asked the Obama administration to answer questions about when and how they decide a US Citizen can be summarily killed after this leaked White Paper was leaked to the press. He has long been concerned on the lack of transparency by the administration on this subject. He is in a delicate position since as a member of the Select Committee on Intelligence, he knows a lot of the answers, but he can not arbitrarily release them publicly. He will be bringing up the issue in the John Brennan confirmation hearings as director of the CIA.
Update 2/6/2013 6:45 PM, Wyden wins after threatening to derail Brennan nomination.
