The Moral Case for Drones

This (by Scott Shane) is good, and clarifies and summarizes some of my own objections to objections to the use of drones.

Which is not to say that I'd call myself, pro-flaming-death-from-sky-robots... I'm just pretty sick of seeing liberals only give half the argument. And I'm extremely sick of GleenGreenwaldian hysteria on the issue.

My basic position currently is probably: drones are terrible but likely to be the least awful option available to us...unless we're overusing them, which, from our/my perspective we seem to be...though we're in a bit of an information vacuum on this score...so we can't be too certain about our conclusions.
