Drones And The Kill List Now (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

In drone news:  the White House is reported this week to be debating whether or not to launch a strike from the sky on an American linked to Al Qaeda.  It’s a “kill list” question, and whether Americans belong on it.  They’ve been there before.  In Pakistan, Kareem Khan has “disappeared.”  His brother and son were killed by a US drone. He was due to testify before European officials on US policy.  In Washington, a report that the NSA is targeting drone strikes off cell phone locations.  Light up your cell, they’ll light you up.  This hour On Point:  keeping up with American drones.
