casualties.
generals like mcchrystal, former
diplomats, foreign policy
experts are talking about
blowback from drones.
the inadvisability, the
political fallout.
the leak of the white paper and
rand paul's filibuster focused
attention on the killing of u.s.
citizens,
not on the killing of other
people.
the house judiciary committee
held hearings, but again, just
focused on u.s. citizens,
although targeted killings, not
just drones.
a gallup poll released about two
weeks ago showed that 65% of
americans think we should use
drone strikes in other countries
against suspected terrorists.
that goes down to 41% of people
who favor tags in other
countries against u.s. citizens
living abroad and down to 25%
who favor strikes against
suspected terrorists living in
the united states.
only 13% of the people surveyed
believe that we should use drone
strikes against u.s. citizens in
the united states.
