Depends on what one cherry-picks from that article.  I like the over-classification and 'derivative classification' but most especially:

"But then Obama’s lawyers penned a memo outlining why CIA agents could kill U.S. citizens affiliated with terrorist groups."  "When outsiders asked to see only the legal reasoning in the memos, officials claimed those were also necessary secrets. When pressed to explain why this memo did not abridge due process rights, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. famously argued that “due process and judicial process are not one and the same.”

That is the Alice in Wonderland argument "A word means just what I choose it to mean, nothing more nor less."

But the Attorney General of the US is not Humpty Dumpty and 'due process' as noted in the US Constitution is determined by the courts.  The 'judicial' branch.
