Release the Justice Department memo reportedly justifying putting Anwar al-Awlaki on the secret kill or capture list.

Created by J.T. on October 07, 2011

Anwar al-Awlaki, an American citizen, was targeted and killed by a drone strike in Yemen. Many view this as a breach of 5th Amendment protections of due process. It has been reported that the White House relied on a Justice Department memo to justify placing an American citizen on the "kill or capture list". This petition requests that the White House release this memo to the public. Candidate Obama lambasted the Bush administration for relying on secret memos and even released some Bush era memos upon entering office.
