Looks the policy shops drummed up a way to shift focus off the scandal/Benghazi mess.

--

    “The Obama administration continues to claim authority to kill virtually anyone anywhere in the world under the ‘global battlefield’ legal theory and a radical redefinition of the concept of imminence,” said Zeke Johnson of Amnesty International. “President Obama should reject these concepts in his speech tomorrow and commit to upholding human rights, not just in word but in deed.”

And alarmists wonder why they aren't taken seriously.
