That's how all this drone stuff sounds, you know.

Now here's the thing. I *can* support the use of drones. I can even support the use of drones against our citizens if they are outside the country and plotting against the country.

Some will say that's what we're doing/can do.

I would reply that an emphatic "No. That is NOT what you are/can do." You can get some oversight, is what you can do. You can admit to the existence of the plans. You can tell your 230 million bosses about it.

I don't expect you to tell me when you have an active operation underway, but I DO expect you to acknowledge the program and to have in place an oversight apparatus that genuinely represents the interests of your 230 million bosses.
