Revealed: Holder Says President Could Authorize Military Drone Strikes Inside U.S.

Eric Holder Letter to Rand Paul Leaves Open Possibility of Drone Strikes on U.S. Soil

Credit: AP

This morning, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) told Glenn Beck’s radio team that he had some new information about the U.S. government’s drone program — information that some individuals might find troubling. Later in the day, TheBlaze obtained letters that were sent to the senator by Attorney General Eric Holder and President Barack Obama’s chief counter-terrorism adviser John Brennan.

It is select contents in Holder’s letter that citizens and political experts, alike, might find most problematic. After Paul sent an inquiry to learn more about the government’s drone program and to ask whether “the President has the power to authorize lethal force, such as a drone strike, against a U.S. citizen on U.S. soil, and without trial,” he received a response that is sure to be scrutinized.

The senator’s inquiry was certainly specific, however the government’s response was not so concise — or at least not pointed enough to put critics like Paul at ease.

In a response dated March 4, 2013, Holder wrote that the U.S. government “has not carried out drone strikes in the United States and has no intention of doing so.” The attorney general went on to note that federal officials believe that in areas where there is “well-established law enforcement,” these officials serve as the preferred mode of handling terrorist threats; military options inside U.S. borders are, thus, “rejected.”

“We have a long history of using the criminal justice system to incapacitate individuals located in our country who pose a threat to the United States and its interests abroad,” the letter reads. “Hundreds of individuals have been arrested and convicted of terrorism-related offenses in our federal courts.”

While this would likely set at ease anyone worried about the potential use of drones on U.S. land, Holder doesn’t conclude there. It is the next section of the letter that is the most contentious, as it leaves the door open for potential action in the event of large-scale terror attacks or other monumental disturbances.

“The question you have posed is therefore entirely hypothetical, unlikely to occur, and one we hope no President will ever have to confront,” the letter continues. “It is possible, I suppose, to imagine an extraordinary circumstance in which it would be necessary and appropriate under the Constitution and applicable laws of the United States for the President to authorize the military to use lethal force within the territory of the United States.”

Holder said that the president could be faced with such a situation (“to authorize the military to use such force”) if the need to protect the nation arose during an attack similar to Pearl Harbor or 9/11.

“Were such an emergency to arise, I would examine the particular facts and circumstances before advising the President on the scope of his authority,” he concludes.

In a separate letter dated March 5, 2013, Brennan responded to Paul’s request for the same information, taking a more conclusive stance — one that affirmed that the CIA would not have the power to conduct attacks on American soil.

In his note, Brennan wrote that the Justice Department would respond to legal questions surrounding the president’s authority, but he made it clear that the agency he has been nominated to lead does not have the authority to conduct these drone attacks (the Senate Intelligence Committee voted this afternoon to approve Brennan’s nomination).

“I can, however, state unequivocally that the agency I have been nominated to lead, the CIA, does not conduct lethal operations inside the United States — not does it have any authority to do so,” he wrote. “Thus, if I am fortunate enough to be confirmed as CIA Director, I would have no ‘power’ to authorize such operations.”

Read Brennan’s letter to Paul in its entirety, below:

In the past, Brennan has been a staunch defender of drone strikes, as highlighted earlier today by TheBlaze. While he noted that they are used only as a “last resort,” he also said during his confirmation hearing that he had no qualms with the administration’s decision to use the tactic against U.S.-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan. Both of these men, killed in Yemen in Sept. 2011, were U.S. citizens.

Paul appeared this afternoon on Sean Hannity’s radio show, where the congressman discussed the letters. The two spoke candidly about Holder’s and Brennan’s responses to his questions. He characterized the attorney general’s answer as a “maybe” when asked about whether drone strikes would be acceptable on U.S. land.

“In that letter, he refuses to rule out using drone stikes on Americans, on American soil,” Paul told Hannity. “The reason this is troubling is that we’re not talking about someone holding a weapon, we’re not taking about someone with a grenade launcher. Many of these drone strikes are against people who are walking and talking, sitting and eating or sleeping in their house.”

Rather than attacking citizens who are suspected of terrorism or terror ties, Paul said that Americans ”need to be charged with something and get our day in court.”

This is a breaking news story. Stay tuned for updates.

Not just drone strikes, but legal assassination for any reason they see fit, without trial or warrant.

  And the paranpoid freaks of the blaze are running wild. Rand Paul is a joke, a mental lite weight, like his father, that demands on the brain washed sheep of Beck and Alex Jones to hold his office. Nothing more than a sad Senator, with a record of support for his corporate masters attempting to invent an issue.

  Encinom is either a victim of normalcy bias, or he trusts government and specifically Eric Holder on his word. It’s not like like Eric Fast and Furious Holder never has given the American people a reason to not trust the Department of Justice.
  
  The one senator who is fighting to protect the U.S. Constitution and the American people from becoming targets of the American government, is obviously a man worth of Encinoms scorn.
  
  I guess we should trust Obama to another 4 years while were at it since we are so trusting of our government, right Encinom?

  some people would rather stick their head in the sand and deny what is happening right in front of them. DHS has 1.6 billion rounds and over 2700 armored vehicles that can withstand running over a mine and btw they also have drones. what are the getting ready for? and they just might be obama’s civilian force he was talking about. just as well armed and funded as the military. remember that campiagn pledge? call your senators and congressmen and asked them. why does DHS have these things when we already have a standing army to defend the country against invasion. because that must be what they are getting ready for. right?

  According to Encinom the government has the right to do what they want and people who speak out, are the problem not government.
  
  Encinom supports turning in your guns, waiving your right to due process, and freedom of assembly to defend the second amendment at state capitols.
  
  Because to do so would make you a conspiracy theorist that the government somehow would attempt to usurp its authority on our civil liberties.
  
  Yes I know it sounds out of the realm of possibility, but its not like the crown or governments around the world have ever turned against its people.

It may take us a total of 135 but with Glenn’s audience, we can flood these PATRIOTS with $$ and I agree with GLENN : FREEDOM WORKS is about the only place I want to see money go to…. NEVER the bloody GOP, gutless wonders….never to Gingrich, never to any moderate….moderate this you creeps.

  Yep, make no mistake, they are setting the stage to use these flying creatures against us. We need to locate the manufacturing facility. They are made in San Diego, CA. They have a 120 acre site near Sorrento and another near Poway. Both in the San Diego area. Patriots, surveil these areas and pre- acquire. Also make note of the executives and their locations. The best way to stop them is when they are on the ground and target those that fly and maintain them.

  We have reached a turning point in our history. An American (?) president and his DOJ defend their “authority” to execute American citizens on American soil without due process of law, thereby setting ObaMao up as judge jury and executioner. The 6th amendment guarantees you the right to due process , but, in usual fashion, the constitution is nothing more than a minor inconvenience to ObaMao to the would be dictator.I wonder more and more with each passing day, when will the people rise up and revolt?

  ENCIOM,
  
  You are certainly a prolific commenter and it got me thinking about how a person can have so much time on his hands that he could spend all day, save for a lunch and dinner break, on just this site making one comment after another.
  
  Which are you:
  1). Employed by an extreme far left wing group that pays you to write nonsense all day?
  2). Unemployed Obamatron who is trying to gain favor with the big man?
  3). Slacker government worker who spends his day on the Internet instead of doing something useful?
  4). or just a person of such low sef-esteem that the only joy in your life is bullying others?
  
  I’m sure I haven’t covered all the possibilities. Anyone else have any ideas on why this person has so much time on his hands?

I believe it was on the Blaze a little while ago that a guy in his 50′s was linked by DNA to the rape and murder of a woman when he was 15…. and they are going to try him as a child because he was a minor when it happened? WTF Man…. Yeah terrorist suck but killing an American child because his American citizen father was accused of terrorism? Whats next?

  When liberals are losing the argument or trying to deflect, they name call and bring up CONTEXT, because words mean more than actions to progresives. “DO AS I SAY,NOT AS I DO.”

  I just want to understand the argument. First of all the US government, and any cop for that matter, can act against an American citizen who is actively threatening other Americans. You guys, in fact, are all about Americans using deadly force and killing other Americans who are threatening you or others. Okay.
  
  Let’s look at the rational side of this first, then the paranoid side. Suppose there is a domestic terrorist such as Timonthy Mcviegh – or pick your own favorite American terrorist or group! – who is in the act of committing mass murder. You, with your AR-15, and shoot the guy, as can the police, as can the government. The government can use fully automatic weapons, RPGs, fighter aircraft, or whatever else to eliminate the threat. But not a drone? Where’s that distinction come from? Isn’t that like telling you can’t have an AR-15?
  
  Now the paranoid view. Okay, the government wants to enslave you and put you in a FEMA concentration camp and blah, blah. Fine, whatever. Okay, so Holder says, “okay, no drones will be used against an American, even if they are trying to blow up the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building.” The US military can still use every other weapon in it’s arsenal, but not drones. As if the law would matter at that point.
  
  So Holder says that. Would that really make you feel better?

Encinom…really I understand your conviction to the wrong cause…I was young and stupid myself..I spiked a stand of old growth Hemlock tree’s that were due to be cut down for condo’s…thanks god someone realized it and instead of guy’s coming in with chainsaws with the possibility that someone could have been seriously damaged if they hit one of my spikes they brought in bull dozers….either way the condo’s got built. So in closing Encinom…I know you think you are educating us but just like those condo’s….we are here and I hear talk of expansion. Go spread your high intellect at Huffpo where I’m positive you will be greatly appreciated and greeted with open arms.

  How is this in any way “paranoid”? The letter clearly states that they believe that they have the authority to kill any U.S. Citizen in the Untied States with a missile strike. Only a mindless sheep follower would say that there is “nothing to worry about” when the Government says that it has the right to assassinate a U.S. Citizen without a trial and on their own authority.

  Encinimoron, you need to learn how to spell, and you also need to get a brain and step out of the fantasy world you seem to love to live in.
  
  This president and his entire yes man administration has already branded anyone who supports the constitution and anyone that does not support the lefts agenda terrorists and radicals. So it is not paranoia (see there it is spelled correctly), it is caution and a lesson taught from history. You would do well to actually learn some history. Read up on Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and Mussolini.

  Send, once again you have it wrong. The burden of “proof” necessary for a drone strike is not that they are actually threatening anyone, just that they are perceived to be a threat in the future.
  
  That perception does not have to be concurred with by a judge, a jury or a group review, only one person, the President.
  
  THAT is the issue. There does not have to be a proven threat, only the belief by one person that in the future a person or group could pose one. Unlike our system of nuclear weapons or a declaration of war there is no system of checks and balances on this one.
  
  When the roles are reversed and the Republican President has his Director of Homeland Security put out a paper that says that all people who drive fuel efficient cars, hold liberal view points, believe in global warming and support aborting babies are possible terrorists and one person has the power to just eliminate the threat “perceived” by him via drone strikes, we will see who is “paranoid” then.

  Poor Rand is trying to save face for being only 4 Republicans to confirm.
  
  All it takes to use a Drone Strike inside United States –
  
  Declare any United States Citizen, inside the Untied States, a Domestic Terrorist.
  
  Domestic Terrorist label = loss of all rights as an American Citizen.
  
  I m sure if you are smarter then a “Lima Bean” that you may have seen this label already used inside the United States.

  @ SENDTHEM……. I read the account of ObaMaos latest attempt to disregard the constitution and to violate his oath of office and am, as any American should be, appalled. I was scrolling through the comments and there was yours. Verbose, but devoid of facts as usual. I was about to post a reply in order to educate you, a never ending task it seems. Another post caught my eye. It was written by “AXELPHANTOM”. I’m assuming it was written in response to your comment, although he did not address it as such. It amazes me how you find the time to write such lengthy comments, but never find the time to inform yourself first. It would save you the embarrassment of being schooled on a daily basis.

  This administration, whatever else may be their intentions, engages in bullying. Remember the aircraft flying low over NYC shortly after Obama was elected to his first term? Why else would they fly low over New York? Furthermore, the mindset of liberals is “if I can, I should.” No moral restraint needed. This is all one needs to know.

  ‘…EQUALIZER Posted on March 5, 2013 at 4:23pm
  Not just drone strikes, but legal assassination for any reason they see fit, without trial or warrant…’
  
  With drones, there’d have been no Ruby Ridge or Waco stand-offs. And those kind of situations are how I see the first use of drones coming about (irrespective of the ND farmer capture). Regardless the person is an honest Patriot, whose voice is loud in everyone’s ears, or a militia group meet-up, or a lawful assembly protesting current government actions, is what will ocurr. Soon as the POS PretendOTUS feels a threat to his ego, he’s going to order a strike.
  
  Hopefully, it’s on ENCINOM’s house.

  SendMeteors shows his ignorance and stupidity… “…Let’s look at the rational side of this first, then the paranoid side. Suppose there is a domestic terrorist such as Timonthy Mcviegh – or pick your own favorite American terrorist or group! – who is in the act of committing mass murder. You, with your AR-15, and shoot the guy, as can the police, as can the government. The government can use fully automatic weapons, RPGs, fighter aircraft, or whatever else to eliminate the threat. But not a drone? Where’s that distinction come from? Isn’t that like telling you can’t have an AR-15?…”
  
  You call using a drone, as compared to a single bullet as being ‘rational’? You compare outright gov’t killing of someone upon the whim of a POS ‘president’ rational compared to a trial as McVeigh had? You consider using a bomb, killing indiscriminately all within its radius as ‘rational’ compared to a single bullet that possibly takes out a single individual?
  
  If you call that ‘rational’, you’ve got no business breathing.

  Now if that isn’t impeachable I don’t know what is! When bush had military men after Katrina arresting and disarming people he should have been impeached. Now this?
  
  I am telling people let people know we need to desolve this government! It is our constitutional right.
  That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.

  Hey Axel. You’ve made a legal statement about the burden of proof necessary before a drone strike. Can you link me to where you get your information? You’ve made a statement you claim is a fact. Where did you get that “fact?”

  If there is actual congizable proof that the “target” has taken part in the planning or execution of attacks on American citizens or property, wherever located, I believe that “target” has forfeited his citizenship and the rights assocated therewtih. However, since the letter to Sen. Paul refers to “incapacitation” does not necessarily include killing (and the examples given do not include killing) – the obvious result of a drone strike – I fail to see how this letter authorizes drone strikes in the USA.

  I’m with RideModels. Conservatives need to take the Senate in 2014. I can’t be the only one, however, who sees this administration moving ‘forward’ very quickly. The Republicans are moving further to the Left, moving towards embracing same-sex marriage. They no longer represent us. Everything is falling off Obama like teflon–faster than with Clinton. And it’s because he knows he can keep pushing with no one effectively pushing back. I can’t help but wonder if secessions are going to occur. And it won’t be without bloodshed. We could be witnessing a ‘perfect storm.’

  The only reason this powder keg has not gone off and probably won’t is: 1. Nobody wants to be a martyr, 2. If this kicks off who’s leading the Forlorn Hope?, 3. None of the media or politicians are on our side hence martyrdom will achieve nothing, 4. America died long ago and now cowardice and fear remain. I swear if the vigor of the patriots remained there would have been a second civil war in 1896 when the rich purchased our government with President McKinley. Our militias have been neutered in plain sight and that was met with our silent consent. If I’m going to die for a cause it better be conceivable to win. That moment passed in 1933. I’m going to breathe in and out and pray I die before I watch the inevitable happen. A civil war will be quick and decisive with us being the loser. The only hope we have now is God. That’s it. No strength of arms from within this country will stop the cascade on the horizon. Of course I am still prepping but that’s to give God a chance to work his miracles before “they” euthanize us.

How long will it be before it is yours? What are they getting ready for. I feel they are not going to cede office in 3 years.

Reading between the lines here in both responses I found the same disturbing fact as is pointed out in the story from Holder and that is neither letter rules it out. In holders letter he admits it possible and as for the Brennan letter he say’s he is not authorized to take that action (which it would only take a Presidential order to authorize the CIA to take that action), he never says it would be unconstitutional to do so and therefor could never take that action. I’m sure you know where it’s going.

This shouldn’t be about drones. Drones are just fluff. What Holder has done is admitted that the Federal government does not consider to be off the table lethal force against US citizens inside US borders without a trial.

The Constitution is clear on this matter.

  Um, I can tell you that the Constitution doesn’t allow for it. So yeah, it’s kind of a big deal to me that the head mofo in charge of preserving our rights thinks we might need to blow you up at a funeral or a wedding (their MO) if they suspect you might be a terrorist. Here’s the head guy in the Justice department saying you’re not necessarily innocent until proven guilty.

  As the Commader and Chief, the Constitution demands in the case of foriegn or domestic troubles for the President to use military assets. Read the letter, the Justice Department gave the correct answer. Senator Chicken Little is a paranoid fool, lacking the basic reading skills to understand the answer.

  Hmmmm….what would constitute a “trouble” then? The president is pretty much given a green light to use drones domestically to solve “troubles”. Where is the line drawn to where a person no longer get’s due process? Apparently, there is now a point to where they could assassinate a citizen but where is that line drawn? When can they fly a drone over a person’s house and blow them up?

They would never do that, would they? They’re all honest forthright individuals who believe in the sanctity of the individual and of due process. They would never use military hardware to murder American citizens in cold blood. (This is why they want us disarmed. Soon they’ll be firing rockets with drones and utilizing those 2700 tanks the DHS just bought… but they can’t afford to give tours of the WH, right?)
