After years of the Obama drone program flying incognito, many senators have brought
much needed attention to America's drone program. Although, many members of
Congress support the program which bypasses the right to a fair trial, Kentucky Sen.
Rand Paul has appeared on the mainstream media demanding that the Obama
administration not kill Americans without accusations or a trial. Former CIA analyst Ray
McGovern joins us to discuss the secrecy of the program

If confirmed as the next US Secretary of Defense, Hagel will have to cope with a
company, long-accused of using its cozy government ties to dodge the hands of justice.
Last week, private contractor firm AcAdemi, formerly known as Blackwater, escaped
with little more than a slap on the wrist over a new arms smuggling scandal. Michael
O'Brien, author of a book called 'America's Failure in Iraq', thinks it's essentially immune
to prosecution.

Ex-Blackwater mercenaries avoid felony convictions

Nearly five years ago, the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms raided the
organization formerly known as Blackwater and seized 22 automatic weapons. Five of
the former Blackwater officials were accused of using unregistered guns and using a
local sheriff's office as a proxy to purchase the automatic weapons, but recently most of
the felony firearms violations charges were dropped. The verdict has many wondering
did the punishment fit the crime? Michael O'Brien, author of America's Failure in Iraq,
joins us to discuss the case.

Rand has very good points - we don't want missiles destroying American cafes to target one person.

Rand Paul would change his tune if ever elected to higher office.

I liked seeing them talk about the ptsd for the operators. It counteracts the idea that
they are totally distanced from the fact that they are killing people. They said it is worse than
the aircraft pilot situation. It is nice to see some people speaking out so loudly on this.
There is a suspicious lack of history on it all though.
There have been drone programs for a while.
There seems to be a policy here to equate drones with one guy, and not look at the longer history of our government inching this way.
If it gets bad enough they can try to blame it all on Obama, get rid of him, and maybe this administration, then continue at an increased
level. The old slowly turn up the heat so the frog is half unconscious when it gets hot enough to kill him.

I just don't know how to take rand paul. One day,
he seems to be on the side of good but the next
day, he will side with the bad and help pass a bill
that isn't good for america.

Is he working both sides?

At least he is pushing for no drones and i can agree
with that.
