US Unease over Legal Basis for Drone Strikes

The Obama Administration says "an informed, high-level official" can ignore the right to due process and kill American citizens if they constitute an "imminent threat" to the United States.

Also, Iran refuses to negotiate with the US after increased sanctions, and powerful excerpts from an Oscar-nominated documentary on sexual assault in America's military.
