Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      @AdamSerwer And I'll repeat my prediction that first drone strike in US will be DEA in hot pursuit back across border from Mexico.

      @emptywheel @NaheedMustafa @AdamSerwer The DEA has had aircraft since the 1970s. Why would they start bombing now?

      @stcolumbia DEA is using lethal force in Honduras. @NaheedMustafa @AdamSerwer

      @stcolumbia Helicopters. But they're using (unarmed AFAWK) drones in MX. @NaheedMustafa @AdamSerwer

      @emptywheel @NaheedMustafa @AdamSerwer I don't see any indication the helicopters were armed, and shooting out the door is a diff issue.

      @stcolumbia Agree. Point is that 1) we've got lethal force in Honduras and 2) drones in MX. @NaheedMustafa @AdamSerwer

      @emptywheel @NaheedMustafa @AdamSerwer Using missiles, bombs, would be a radical departure from LE standards, let alone within the US.

      @stcolumbia I agree. Note, too, I'm saying it's a hot pursuit back into US, not deployed here. @NaheedMustafa @AdamSerwer

          @emptywheel @NaheedMustafa @AdamSerwer If DEA and State CNTPO can't get authorities for airstrikes before I doubt drones change that.

          @emptywheel @NaheedMustafa @AdamSerwer From anyone. No indication Mexicans wanna get bombed, or we (or DEA) want DEA in bombing business.

          @stcolumbia Well, there actually have been hints, and Pena Nieto seems more willing to have JSOC publicly onsite @NaheedMustafa @AdamSerwer

          @emptywheel @NaheedMustafa @AdamSerwer So that'd be JSOC then. And even when JSOC was in Colombia, Colombians did the bombing.

          @stcolumbia That's why it was troubling the DEA took the shots (not bombs, admittedly) in Honduras @NaheedMustafa @AdamSerwer

          @stcolumbia Agree that lethal force is already used in Domestic. I keep pointing out WP precedents are Domestic. @NaheedMustafa @AdamSerwer
