This image provided by U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Va., shows the Zimbabwe National Registration card for Alois Pedzisai Matyoramhinga. Unusual circumstances have left federal prosecutors pursuing vandalism charges against Andrew Pastirik, a U.S. government worker accused of killing Matyoramhinga in a drunken driving collision. Much of the case against Pastirik is shrouded in secrecy at a federal courthouse in northern Virginia. Court documents show the only charge filed against Pastirik in the 2008 death is one of “malicious mischief,” or vandalism, for wrecking a U.S. government-owned Toyota Land Cruiser he was driving.

Brennan was confirmed after the Obama administration bowed to demands from Republicans, stating that there are limits on President Barack Obama's power to use drones against U.S. terror suspects on American soil. White House attempts to lift the cloak of secrecy over its use of armed drones have only raised more questions about the counterterrorism program, particularly Obama's legal authority to kill American citizens.
