Yes, the Office of Legal Counsel issued a classified memo to legally justify these killings.
What's in the memo? No one really knows, it's so classified that most members of Congress aren't allowed to read it.
This is straight from the W. Bush playbook. W and Cheney(rest in piss) used these same tactics to legalize torture during the Iraq war.
