In general, the disclosed operational plans that are either developed by the CIA or the Pentagon include the decision-making process regarding the timeframe for killing or capturing people, the "strike and surveillance" assets to be used in the operations and the specific counter-terrorism objectives to be achieved.

The Presidential Policy Guidance also seeks a "near certainty" reassurances that civilians will not get killed or injured while hunting down a specific target. The policy however never mentions the term "civilian", but rather a "non-combatant" which according to the document excludes those individuals who are "targetable in the exercise of national self-defense."

Strikes against high-value terrorist targets can only be taken "when there is near certainty" that the person is present. Besides targeting specific individuals, drone strikes are also permitted against the "infrastructure, including explosives storage facilities".

The playbook also stipulates that all operational plans "shall be presented to the president for decision" when there is lack of consensus or the designated target is a US citizen.

Besides the PPG, the White House also released four Pentagon documents. They include the 2014 "Report on Associated Forces," which outlines the groups the US government considers to be "associated" or "affiliated" with al-Qaida; and a 2013 "Department of Defense Implementation of the Presidential Policy Guidance," a heavily redacted memorandum shared with Congress.

The two other documents include a March 2014 "Report on Congressional Notification of Sensitive Military Operations and Counterterrorism Operational Briefings," that outlines the PPG's congressional reporting requirements; and a 2014 "Report on Process for Determining Targets of Lethal or Capture Operations," which discusses the legal and policy standards in the PPG.

Following the release of documents National Security Council spokesman Ned Price defended the US drone strikes abroad saying that the US "counter-terrorism actions are effective and legal, and their legitimacy is best demonstrated by making public more information about these actions as well as setting clear standards for other nations to follow."

"From the same people who released the study showing the extraordinarily high probability that Hillary Clinton exceeded exit polling results in states that had no paper trail to use to audit the vote, we now get some even more "interesting" developments.

It seems that Hillary did especially well in which states where the owners of two of the three companies that make and support e-voting machines, donated to the Clinton Fund."

"Well, I'm looking at all of these decisions coming down from the standpoint of identification/voter ID. And I'm saying, what do you mean? You don't have to have voter ID to now go in and vote and it's a little bit scary and I've heard a lot of bad things. Four years ago, I was hearing a lot of bad things having to do with the Romney campaign where when the vote came out there were some districts that were shockingly different from what they were anticipated to be. I've been seeing it and I've been hearing it a lot. The whole thing with voter ID identification I think is really - I mean people are going to walk in, they are going to vote 10 times maybe. Who knows? They are going to vote 10 times. I am very concerned and I hope the Republicans are going to be very watchful and I hope the authorities are going to be very watchful. Because I want to tell you - I believe it's going to, just like Bernie Sanders 'I said it was rigged,' well it's rigged here too believe me. So I just hope the Republicans are going to be very watchful."
