@mjohnson201457 Didn't say that. I pointed out they're both out of control counterproductive policies designed for plausible deniability. -
@emptywheel Then we can't single out one administration. Drones save those who pay the price of war. The poor and middle class die for what! -
@mjohnson201457 If CIA drone program (distinct fr drones) sustain expensive war, keep us exposed, that also hurts middle class. -
@emptywheel War is torture 2 the mind of those having 2 fight. PTS. lives ruined for someone else's agenda which is never satisfied no win
-
@mjohnson201457 Yes. Just like the PTSD drone pilots suffer from. You're making my point for me. -
@emptywheel I simply agree with use of drones til we stop war altogether. I rest my case. Thx for your imput of opinion. -
@mjohnson201457 Well, i hope you reflect on the way you're also endorsing war crimes, then.

@emptywheel I don't follow your logic. Can Obama not argue that drone program legal and torture is not? -
@armandodkos Both drone program and torture rely on CIA breaking the law. -
@emptywheel I don't see how they're comparable.There is no torture program that is legal A drone program could be. -
@armandodkos But by the 3rd day in office, Obama's was not.
