Morris Davis, CIA Drone Program Murder Allegations

Morris Davis, the former chief prosecutor at Guantanamo Bay, revealed that while military drone operators have "combatant immunity," CIA civilian contractors do not. Davis argues that because the CIA is a civilian agency, their drone strikes do not fall under the laws of war, potentially making the acts legally equivalent to murder. He also noted that the current administration's "kill list" is an unprecedented expansion of executive authority.
