Victory in Court: CIA Can No Longer Refuse to `Confirm or Deny` on Drones

This is an important victory. It requires the government to retire the absurd claim that the CIA‘s interest in the targeted killing program is a secret, and it will make it more difficult for the government to deflect questions about the program‘s scope and legal basis. It also means that the CIA will have to explain what records it is withholding, and on what grounds it is withholding them.
