WAR ON TERROR - Drone Attacks on American Citizen in Overseas?

"Obama administration faces conundrum in weighing drone attack against U.S. terror suspect" PBS Newshour 2/11/2014

Excerpt

JUDY WOODRUFF (Newshour):  In an unusually public exposure of an internal government debate, Obama administration officials confirmed they are deciding whether to target an American citizen living in Pakistan who is believed to be plotting terrorist attacks.

The disclosure comes as the administration considers the extent of the president’s powers amid new revelations about the technology behind unmanned drones, so often used to go after terrorists abroad.

For more, we turn to Mark Mazzetti of The New York Times, who wrote today’s story about the American citizen abroad.  He’s also the author of “The Way of the Knife: The CIA, A Secret Army, and a War at the Ends of the Earth.”


IMHO a terrorist is a terrorist, and if you live outside of the U.S., you are fair game citizen or not.
