    I think in many ways you're correct. You can probably make this fit into that construct - the "which rule of law do we use" debate.

    If anything, I think it's an interesting butterfly effect. You...
  3. Domestic Due Process Leading to Overseas Drone Strikes?

    Yes - I suppose that's a rather broad hypothesis, but I hope that I explain my stance a bit clearer here.

    Also, if you haven't checked out Current Intelligence, it has some interesting analysis...

    Mike -

    I just finished a paper for my Law of War class that essentially looks at the different interpretations of AP I from Just War Theory perspective.

    Interesting. The article is largely consistent with our conversation, although there was no mention of a correlation to beyond a reasonable doubt. It almost seemed as though there was a binary...

    Great information, and a good analysis of the article.
