Court Considers Releasing Key Documents Governing Secretive Targeted Killing Program

One — the Presidential Policy Guidance, or PPG — is a classified record that sets out the law and policy that the government must follow when it carries out targeted killings. President Obama issued the PPG in May 2013 as part of what seemed to be a renewed commitment to provide transparency over and restraints on the program. But his administration did not make the PPG public, releasing instead only some of its most general standards.
