Judgment ordering release of drone documents

A fed­er­al ap­peals court re­leased a re­dac­ted ver­sion of a memo, writ­ten by Justice De­part­ment law­yers in 2010, that provided leg­al jus­ti­fic­a­tion for the tar­geted killing of An­war Aw­laki, an Amer­ic­an cit­izen who was killed by a drone strike in Ye­men in Septem­ber 2011.
