There is a small error here near the beginning of the show. The show indicates that the US is using drones to attack "our enemies." In fact, the targeted assassinations have not been killing enemies, but has been killing largely civilians. Of course, the "War" on "Terror" is the cover for the use of terror against whomever the Obama Administration wants to kill without trial.

I appreciate very much the information provided here on the subject of the use of drones against American citizens.
