Civil liberties and human rights groups are raising questions about President Obama’s nominee to lead the Department of Homeland Security over his involvement in the country’s drone and other “targeted-killing” programs. The collection of nine groups, among some of the president’s strongest supporters, is asking the Senate during confirmation hearings starting Wednesday to have nominee Jeh Johnson publicly explain his involvement is the program when he was the Defense Department’s general counsel from 2009 to 2012. “The undersigned organizations strongly urge you to question Mr. Johnson on his role in the United States’ targeted killing program,” reads the letter to Sens. Tom Carper, D-Del., and Tom Coburn, R-Okla., leaders of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. “For the past several years, the United States has engaged in a program of targeted killing -- most commonly but not exclusively through the use of drones,” according to letter obtained by Fox News and signed by the American Civil Liberties Union, Amnesty International USA and seven other groups.
