1. Congress <read the Republicans) have blocked funds for releasing or transferring hundreds of prisoners captured as part of the war on terror.
2. Drones — efficient, but need close oversight. Note to collaterals, if you sit around at the barbers, you're likely to get your hair cut.
These drone strikes constitute murder — murder committed for the purpose of preventing blowback. For me, the question is do we condone or condemn murder committed by the White House?
Goodness Ian, I hope your comments/belief holds true if the government or it’s designated agency’s engage in that behavior in the U.S.
I have my NRA sanctioned musket, protected by the 2nd Amendment, to deal with any government sanctioned action. 🙂
What’s the problem with drones? Must there be a pilot present and mildly at risk to justify attacking terrorists? Or should we wait while they try out in Somalia, say, until they are ready to axe a person in London…or New York.
