EXECUTIVE POWER, DRONE EXECUTIONS, AND THE DUE PROCESS RIGHTS OF AMERICAN CITIZENS Jonathan G. D’Errico* Few conflicts have tested the mettle of procedural due process more than the War on Terror. Although fiery military responses have insulated the United States from another 9/11, the Obama administration’s 2011 drone execution of a U.S. citizen allegedly associated with al-Qaeda without formal charges or prosecution sparked public outrage. Judicial recognition that this nonbattlefield execution presented a plausible procedural due process claim ignited questions which continue to smolder today: What are the limits of executive war power? What constitutional privileges do American citizens truly retain in the War on Terror? What if the executive erred in its judgment and mistakenly executed an innocent citizen? Currently, no legal regime provides answers or guards against the infringement of procedural due process the next time the executive determines that an American citizen must be executed to protect the borders of the United States.

  • Cablefax Dailytm Friday — December 22, 2017 What the Industry Reads First Volume 28 / No
    www.cablefaxdaily.com, Published by Access Intelligence, LLC, Tel: 301-354-2101 Cablefax DailyTM Friday — December 22, 2017 What the Industry Reads First Volume 28 / No. 244 Eyes of the World: Most Top Cable Nets See Viewership Declines in 2017 Only one of the top 10 most-viewed cable nets in primetime this year saw viewership growth relative to 2016. MSNBC was the pleasant outlier, notching a massive 50% YOY increase in primetime viewership with 1.62mln viewers P2+. That was good enough for the cable news net to jump from No 10 in prime last year to No 3 this year. The rest of the top 10 saw primetime viewership decrease to varying degrees. The top two nets in prime—Fox News (2.42mln) and ESPN (1.92mln)—retained their respective No 1 and No 2 spots from 2016. Both saw primetime dips of less than a percentage point. As one might expect, entertainment nets in the top 10 saw more statistically significant drop-offs. No 4 USA (1.41mln) and No 5 HGTV (1.41mln) took matching 4.5% primetime viewership hits. Rounding out 2017’s primetime top 10 were TBS (1.40mln; -7.2%), TNT (1.17mln; -15.1%), History (1.13mln; -4.5%), Discovery (1.10mln; -7.1%) and CNN (1.06mln; -14.1%). Live sports remain the most valuable programming on the dial, but even athletics took a viewership hit in 2017. Through last week, national sports viewership was down 12% from 2016, or 6% exclud- ing the three weeks in which the 2016 Rio Olympics took place, according to Pivotal Research’s Brian Wieser.

  • Rethinking US Efforts on Counterterrorism
    Cite as Levitt, 12 J. NAT’L SECURITY L. & POL’Y __ (forthcoming 2021) Rethinking U.S. Efforts on Counterterrorism: Toward a Sustainable Plan Two Decades After 9/11 Matthew Levitt* INTRODUCTION Nearly twenty years have passed since al-Qaeda terrorists carried out the attacks of September 11, 2001.1 During that interval, the United States has built a counterterrorism bureaucracy to manage, resource, and operationalize the nation’s intelligence, law enforcement, and military response to the threat posed by al-Qaeda in particular and terrorism more broadly. This counterterrorism enterprise has been remarkably successful from a tactical perspective, foiling attacks and disrupting terrorist networks. But it has been less successful from a strategic vantage point, given that more people today are radicalized to violent extremism than in 2001, representing a more diversified and globally dispersed terrorist threat. Countering terrorism remains one of the country’s top international security priorities, but not the primary one. Domestically, countering terrorism still constitutes a priority for agencies like the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Department of Homeland Security. But when it comes to fighting terrorism overseas, the national mood has shifted toward a focus on those groups presenting threats to the homeland or Americans abroad, while addressing regional terrorist threats through intelligence and action by local partners. As the 2018 National Defense Strategy makes clear, “Inter-state strategic competition, not terrorism, is now the primary concern in U.S. national security.”2 This reflects both the rise of Great Power and near power competition as strategic threats to U.S. national security and the success of Washington’s twenty-year investment in counterterrorism and homeland security.

History In Memoriam The Life and Legacy of George H.W. Bush By Fernando Sanchez How do we remember our recently deceased presidents? With the passing of George H. W. Bush and the multitude of obituaries coming out of major American news media, the answer becomes remarkably clear. We remember them through rose-tinted glasses. Virtually all retrospectives on George H. W. Bush, no matter their author’s political predilection, sanctify him. This is certainly nothing new: the American media tends to concentrate on the positive aspects of recently deceased politicians rather than on their negative ones. However, this should not be the norm, especially in the case of a man who held many high-ranking government positions like George H. W. Bush. Obituaries are particularly powerful last comments on a person’s life. Sean Sweitzer, in his retrospective analysis on the life of former Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, argues that an obituary, unlike a biography or memoir, is directly accessible to a broad audience.

That is, in the National Gallery that exists in the mind of Elizabeth Kostova, and in the pages of her new novel, The Swan Thieves: I climbed the stairs to the tremendous marble rotunda at their summit and wandered among its gleaming, variegated pillars for a few minutes, stood in the middle, taking a deep breath. Then a strange thing happened — the fi rst of many times. I wondered if Robert had paused here, and I felt his presence, or perhaps simply tried to guess what his experi- ence must have been — here, where he preceded me. Had he known he was going to stab a painting, and known which painting? The Swan Thieves moves backward and forward in time, tell- ing the story of a disturbed artist named Robert Oliver through the eyes of his psychiatrist. Kostova weaves that together with the nineteenth- century tale of the woman with whom Oliver is obsessed. In the French Impressionist gallery where an opening scene from The Swan Thieves unfolds, Kostova told Mary Louise Kelley that her protagonist — a psychiatrist named Andrew Marlow who paints as a hobby — visits the museum after Oliver is arrested and given over to his care to see if he can get into the head of his patient.
