I once wrote in support of Obama's use of drones to fight terrorism. I did that thinking the alternative was massive military action on the ground - George Bush and Dick Cheney style.
The CIA is now telling us there is another choice, and that Obama is killing more people then he needs to be. This from the CIA no doubt!
Apparently we would be better off capturing more of them. We would garner more intelligence, while reducing 'collateral damage' (reducing the numbers of innocent bystanders we murder), and preventing future terrorist activity (saving even more innocent life).
This coming from an agency with a long history of illegal lethal activity (murder) to a man who has received the Noble Peace Price. So why isn't Obama listening?
