Donald Trump gives CIA power to carry out its own drone strikes
 [Independent] The CIA can now kill potential terror suspects with drone strikes after being granted new powers by President Donald Trump, according to a new report.The new authority ‐ said to have been granted shortly after Mr Trump’s inauguration ‐ takes drone strikes out of the sole control of the military, sparking fears about accountability. The 'Military' never had 'sole control.' Under the drone policy of the Obama administration, the CIA could find a suspect, but the armed forces would carry out the actual strike. CIA 'found suspects?' Unless something has changed drastically, elements of DoD or Other Gov't Agencies generally 'found' targets. Posted by: Besoeker 2017-03-16 |
