Freedom of information: Fight continues over drone memos justifying killing of U.S. citizens

The Justice Department is asking a federal appeals court for more redactions, beyond those approved in federal court in April, to a legal opinion justifying drone killings . The Obama administration had earlier said they would not appeal the April decision that called for the release of the opinion. (Politico, May 27, 2014, by Josh Gerstein)

The 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals answered the request by directing the Justice Department to make its case for further redactions in court with all parties to the freedom of information lawsuit present including the New York Times. (Courthouse News Service, May 29, 2014, By Adam Klasfeld)
