After the drone hearing

I did watch all of the Senate subcommittee's hearing on drone attacks this afternoon. It was well worth watching. Intelligent discourse from all sides--making you realize what Congress could get done if it wanted to. Spencer Ackerman sums it up better than I could, and faster. He is right in highlighting the testimony of Yemeni witness Farea al-Muslimi who gave a moving but articulate account of his own distress after an American drone targeted someone in his own village.

Sounds like you should be able to pick up the hearing on CSPAN.

Watch a live webcast of a Senate hearing on drone warfare tomorrow

At four o'clock, Eastern Standard Time on April 23, a subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary will hold a hearing on Drone Wars: The Constitutional and Counterterrorism Implications of Targeted Killing.

Just Foreign Policy says: If you live in Illinois, Minnesota, Delaware, Connecticut, Hawaii, Texas, South Carolina, or Utah, you have a Senator who serves on the subcommittee. Urge your Senator to ask four particular questions and call for a subpoena of the drone memos. Here's their website.

JFP says that this is the first time in the history of drone strike policy that there has been a public Congressional hearing on the policy. So if you can make it either in DC or virtually, it would be a really good thing to show up.
