As reported by Politico:
Nearly two years ago, President Barack Obama called for moving the drone war from the CIA to the Defense Department to give the controversial counterterrorism program greater oversight.
But it hasn’t happened.
Then-Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein expressed concerns, and intelligence sources say she inserted a classified amendment in a spending bill last year requiring that the administration certify that giving the Pentagon a greater role would not have negative impacts on the war on terrorism.
Feinstein’s office declined to comment on the classified amendment, but the White House, in response to the amendment, has been slow to make any changes.
