And a lib arguing against them lol.

Drones? Very very much a fact of life already. 'We're here, we're quee....

Wait a sec, that's the Army Wait till the spy drones are fly sized, if they don't have them right now. Stick a poision needle on them and hello assasination.

If Bush did it it'd be the worst thing Cheney ever did. But darn it, Obama is just so... so... he's just so gosh darn wonderful. His movements smell like fresh baked bread.

Everybody thinks Chainey was an evil genius.

If he was so damn smart, why didn't he get a better puppet than shrub???

I'm not arguing that there should not be questions. My point is not a new one, and is not original, but our development of technology has far outpaced our development of ethical means to determine how such technological advancements may properly be used.

I have also argued that in the nasty business that is war and terrorism as war, the use of drone attacks to take out terrorist leaders is justified.

Regards,

D-Ray

FWIW, the Executive Branch did deliberate, with assistance of counsel, the legality of the drone attacks. Can you imagine if we were to task Congress with such deliberations. These jagoffs can't find their asses with both hands.

however, if they truly are "jagoffs", I have to assume that their hands actually found something else...
