I find it hypocritical that Barack Obama not only continues the drone program for terrorists but expands it more than President Bush.

Alarm bells sound over granting the right to the targeted, extrajudicial killing of American citizens by the government. Some guidelines are included but they are vague, subjective and far too elastic to give anyone reading them a sense of a policy under tight, judicial control. Additionally, this may well be a policy that the US…
