ACLU sues Obama administration over treatment of terrorist


Posted: Sep 3, 2010

The US government is being sued by civil rights groups seeking a legal change to the Obama administration's treatment of radical cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who is a US citizen who lives in Yemen.

Al-Awlaki who is on America's most wanted terrorist list will be defended by ACLU and the Center for Constitutional Rights, who say the government has improperly "asserted authority to use lethal force against US citizens located far from any battlefield without charge, trial, or judicial process of any kind."
