Holder is not the first administration official to address the targeted killing of citizens - the Pentagon's general counsel, Jeh Johnson, did so last month at Yale Law School, for example - it was notable for the nation's top law enforcement official to declare that it is constitutional for the government to kill citizens without any judicial review under certain circumstances.
