Wall Street Journal — CIA Had Secret Al Qaeda Plan
 
Eric Holder is ready to prosecute, Diane Feinstein is talking about hearings and some House Democrats want Dick Cheney in the dock, but just what is the secret program at the CIA that has everyone up in arms?

Writer Siobhan Gorman says it was a capture or kill directive that gave legal authorization to the CIA to assassinate senior members of al Qeada in 2001. The directive, which came from President Bush, was a reversal of President Ford’s ban on assassinations, but was never put into action.
