coll, professor hoffman, do you agree with that assessment? >> i do. i would just add a couple of points to feed it has been a highly effective tactic. we have run the risk of confusing the tactic with an overall strategy and this is one part of the board met on terror. what concerns me the most is we will see the diminishing returns on the program. i think we already are when we see the publicly released list of targets that have been killed on hundred ortiz the people you look at that list as a diminishing number of factual high-value targets at the senior leaders of al qaeda. nothing wrong with disrupting the mid-level as well but i think it is a decapitation we are going to find that it pays future dividends. i think also that they will take increasing measures to frustrate the drones and to make sure they are not the victim by wind and the point that one of the lessons were messages we should take from the highly successful operation is we also have the capacity in the future not to just take out the targets but also to use the capability to captu
