Drones are the ideal political weapon. No pilots at risk and with the CIA there is political deniability right down the line. A reasonable question is how much did the strike cost and what did the US give up to the corrupt Yemen regime to get permission to kill someone who was living in their country? Radical lefties seem pretty complaisant about giving the president permission to send CIA drones around the world to kill selected targets without due process.
