PROF. KENNETH ANDERSON: The Obama administration’s contrasting on-defense, on-offense responses to terrorism. “Leading lawyers in the administration appear to be acting as though this were going to be a one term administration. Their failure to offer a robust defense of targeted killing, to the full extent that it would almost certainly be contemplated by an administration planning on being around for another seven years, rather than three, suggests that they are hedging their bets and, in effect, offering a kind of private intrade-style prediction market for the inside players that they, and the President, will be back to being law professors sooner rather than later.”
