And because "shit happens in war because", there are international treaties - which we're signatory to - outlaw war crimes, torture among them.

The drone program and the media's relative lack of interest in it does allow the prez to operative with relative impunity and lack of scrutiny. But folks including civilians are still being killed by this prez by the thousands, and the left's lack of reaction to that - while continuing to stay worked up over something that happened years ago - is quite interesting to watch.
This "leftie" is far from sanguine about the drone program and I'm not alone. I'm with Malala Yousafzai who diresctly asked President Obama to stop the drones. There's such a thing as executive immunity, however, so we'll have to see what the Warren Justice Department thinks.
