U.S. Senators Mark Udall (D-Colo.), Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) pressed the Obama administration in a letter for additional transparency on U.S. drone policy, including its interpretations of when it can take lethal action outside of declared war zones and against Americans. The senators — all members of the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence — also said the American people have a right to know the "limits and boundaries" of the president's power to take lethal action against them.
