Snuck into the TRILLION DOLLAR OMNIBUS GOVERNMENT SPENDING SPENDING BILL is a "classified" provision, introduced by Congress, that blocks President Obama's bid to transfer control of the drone program into Department of Defense control, Greg Miller writing for the Washington Post reported Wednesday.

The measure would "restrict the use of any funding to transfer unmanned aircraft or the authority to carry out drone strikes from the CIA to the Pentagon," the Washington Post reports, referencing statements by U.S. officials.

The move adds to the shadowy nature of the U.S. drone program, which critics charge is unleashing terror on civilians while operating behind a veil of secrecy.

The revelation comes amid reports that a U.S. drone strike killed a Yemeni farmer Wednesday while he walked to his home in the village of al-Houta, near the city of Shibam.

WASHINGTON — The massive federal spending bill passed by the House on Wednesday includes $118 million for the uranium enrichment project in Piketon run by USEC, even though the viability of the project and the company are in doubt.
USEC snags more funds in spending bill
USEC, a Maryland-based global energy company, is about to file for bankruptcy. With enriched uranium prices at rock bottom, the commercial application of USEC’s American Centrifuge Project is in question.

And the money included in the fiscal year 2014 spending bill would go to fund a project that USEC says has essentially been completed — a two-year research, development and demonstration initiative done in concert with the Department of Energy.
