Although a spokesperson for the National Security Council told The Intercept that "those guidelines remain in effect today," "The Drone Papers" state that the target need only present "a threat to U.S. interest or personnel."This is a far cry from an imminence requirement. And once the president signs off on a target, U.S. forces have 60 days to execute the strike. A 60-day period flies in the face of the imminence mandate for the use of lethal force off the battlefield.
