Hubris?

A new piece up by Bill Moyers on The Hubris of the Drones. An opinion piece, but with many good links as well.

And Slate has not one but two pieces about drones today. The first discusses how politispeak in the State of the Union address obscured rather than revealed the Administration's drone policy.  And Desmond Tutu's objection to the idea of a drone court being floated in some parts takes up a topic I've been wondering about myself. Why all the attention on American deaths by drone? Why does due process begin and end with American citizenship?

...I'm editing this to add yet another interesting story--the ACLU and the Tea Party are aligning to oppose the use of armed drones. Read all about it HERE.
