Rand Paul gets another letter from Eric Holder clarifying view on Drone strikes

Attorney General Eric Holder sent a letter Thursday to Sen. Rand Paul to clarify the Obama administration’s view on the use of lethal force on American soil, an issue that provoked the Kentucky Republican to wage a nearly 13-hour filibuster against the president’s nominee to lead the Central Intelligence Agency.

The letter stated the following:

It has come to my attention that you have now asked an additional question: "Does the President have the authority to use a weaponized drone to kill an American not engaged in combat on American soil?" The answer to that question is no.

This of course was a follow up to a previous letter sent by Holder to Paul that for the most part prompted the filibuster.
