In his speech on national security today, President Obama addressed some of the most controversial challenges at the intersection of counterterrorism and accountability. Brookings experts have examined these issues in detail, including the government's detention policy (Guantánamo Bay) and targeted killings (sometimes of American citizens) using unmanned drones.
