Simply Stated, The Need For Accurate Intelligence

The Whole Technological Revolution And Evolution Gives Man Tremendous Capabilities For Good, And It Also Gives Individuals Tremendous Capability To Carry Out What Result In Lethal Action.

As A Former Career Intelligence Professional, I Have A Profound Appreciation For The Value Of Intelligence. Intelligence Disrupts Terrorist Plots And Thwarts Attacks. Intelligence Saves Lives.

In Full Accordance With The Law - And In Order To Prevent Terrorist Attacks On The United States And To Save American Lives - The United States Government Conducts Targeted Strikes Against Specific Al-qa'ida Terrorists, Sometimes Using Remotely Piloted Aircraft, Often Referred To Publicly As Drones.

We Are In This Business, Whether It Be Intelligence Or The Government, To Protect Freedom, Democracy And Liberty, Not To Violate That.

The United States Is The First Nation To Regularly Conduct Strikes Using Remotely Piloted Aircraft In An Armed Conflict. Other Nations Also Possess This Technology. Many More Nations Are Seeking It, And More Will Succeed In Acquiring It.
