Every so often President Obama reminds me why I voted for him. Yesterday he announced publicly that drone strikes had killed four Americans, and he said that drones will only be used on foreign enemies subject to rules for American citizens who are defined as “terrorists.”
Lethal force will only be used against targets who are “a continuing, imminent threat to Americans.”
Today the President gave a speech to the National Defense University (we have a National Defense University?) pledging to renew his efforts to transfer or release prisoners held at Guantanamo.
It is interesting that the Republicans who complain about the terrible repression under the Obama administration NEVER mention Guantanamo.
