7.15 Transcript:
And I'm Oren Cleary, Legal Counsel to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It's a mouthful, I know. This is a confidential session. All of the items and materials discussed here are subject, under penalty of law, to confidentiality rules.
You may take notes during this session, but those notes must be relinquished before we've finished. And no items or evidence may be taken from this room. Understood? Good.
As I'm sure you're aware, the executive branch has taken flack lately for its legal justification regarding Executive Order 12333. The president has asked for a broader consensus on action item 56-984B. Our two civilian consultants have been granted TS/SCI clearance to take part. Please break the seal on your briefing materials now.
My question is, do panels like this with some civilian lawyers actually exist to help advise the President on legal matters, especially to help determine an execution of an enemy combatant or terrorist? How realistic is this?
