What is going on with these drones that now they are contemplating a secret court to decide if drones can be used for the killing of terrorists? First they want to pass a law that is unconstitutional stating that they can kill terrorist without needing the law. They can kill who they want and that any high level person can do it. Now they want a secret court to be used to kill terrorist suspects and will it be terrorists only?
The idea was given by John Brennan during his questioning for the office of Director of the C.I.A. last Thursday. The court would be similar to the Foreign Intelligent Surveillance Act of 1978.
On Thursday Sen Ron Wyden D-Oregan said he could not even be given a list of countries where drones have been used.
Sen Saxly Chambliss {R Georga} also raised the continuing issue that the strikes keep us from getting information from the terrorists. Here is Chambliss on "Fox News Sunday" morning with Chris Wallace.
Wallace "Are you satisfied with Brennana's answers?"
Chambliss " Brennenan was not the architect of the drone program, but he has been the architect of the Obama Administration's drone program." "And , I came away from there with the feeling that I had going in there that there is a definite direction of NOT capturing these high profile targets and soliciting information from them through detention and interrogation."
Wallace ""because he said that it's ideal or certainly preferable to capture them so you can get intelligence?"
Chambliss "But yet when I asked him how many high value targets they had captured in the last four years of the Obama administration, he dodged and weaved."
Wallace "he said he would get back to you with a number?"
Chambliss "The fact is, I know what the number is. It's ONE. He alluded to do it a little later in his testimony. WE CAPTURED A GUY. We put him in a ship for 60 days and sailed him around the ocean, and interrogated him."
So there you have it, this man Brennan has served for four years as a architect for the drone program and he sat in meetings on a regular basis about the program and we have captured ONE Terrorist. In my opinion the President is a total failure in defense of our country. He has captured ONE terrorist with the drone program. Do you want Brennan in charge of the CIA??
Sen Angus King {I Maine} "Having the executive being the prosecutor, the judge, the jury and the executioner all in one is very contrary to the tradition and laws of this country."
To me this has the appearance of cover up as we can't even find out in what countries are the drones being used and now a secret court, not a panel or group of senators, but a ruling court to make the decisions of whether drones can be used to kill terrorists. What are they hiding? Who have they killed and just what in the name of justice is going on? And what knowledge have we received from ONE caught terrorist?
Somethings rotten in Denmark, or should we say in Washington?
