Holder: Obama to Explain Drone Killing Policy to Public Soon

After quite a bit of shaming by the filibustering Rand Paul

|

Attorney General Eric Holder told the Senate Judiciary Committee Wednesday morning that President Obama will speak about the administration's drone program "very soon" in an effort to be more transparent.

Shortly after Holder's testimony, Senator Rand Paul began a rare talking filibuster of John Brennan's confirmation as CIA Director in order to demand more information on the White House targeted killing program. Paul began speaking just before noon on the Senate floor and kept at it for over 12 hours.
