      1. After UK drones kill UK citizens in Syria, now an urgent debate about drones. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/sep/07/drone-british-citizens-syria-uk-david-cameron … Here’s my advice from New York:

      2. The British media will be eager to cast drone critics as moralizing blowhards, as naïfs. But there is no need to follow that script.

      3. It's assumed in the US & UK that drones are good for national security. This assumption should be attacked, as it is false.

      4. Most of the dissent against drones in the US is legalistic pseudo-dissent. But there are many military/natsec skeptics of drone attacks.

          13. Dissent against drone assassination should not be limited to legalist critiques. Westminster has more lawyers, and will win that battle.

          14. I hope the UK won’t be suckered into “a human rights approach” to drone assassination, as happened in the US:http://www.lrb.co.uk/v37/n13/chase-madar/short-cuts …

          15. Moral arguments against drone assassination are buttressed, not contradicted, by strategic criticism of the tactic.
