NEW YORK–(ENEWSPF)–September 30, 2013. The American Civil Liberties Union and The New York Times will appear before a federal appeals court tomorrow afternoon asking that the government be ordered to release records about the targeted killing program and the killing of three American citizens in Yemen in 2011. The oral argument concerns the appeal of a federal district court decision from January. That ruling, which referenced “Alice in Wonderland,” allowed the CIA and the Departments of Justice and Defense to withhold documents responding to the ACLU’s Freedom of Information Act request about the killings of Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan in September 2011, and al-Awlaki’s 16-year-old son Abdulrahman the following month.
