Secret Panel Determines U.S. "Kill List" 
-----------------------------------------



New details have been released on the Obama administration's "kill list"
of U.S. citizens authorized for killing or capture overseas. According
to Reuters, a secretive panel of top government officials determines who
can be slain or captured, and then informs the president of its
decision. The panel is an offshoot of the White House's National
Security Council. The panel was behind the decision to kill Anwar
al-Awlaki, who died in a CIA drone attack in Yemen last week.
