Following a previous filibuster of John Brennan’s nomination to be CIA director, the Obama White House is said to be having closed door meetings with Department of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles secretary and well known developmental reconnaissance drone Ryan YQM-98A R-Tern (also known as Compass Cope R).
President Barack Obama is said to be consulting with Ryan after the administration was asked, “Can you use a drone to kill an American on American soil?”
Attorney General Eric Holder previously responded by saying “It is possible, I suppose, to imagine a drone having the ability to fly over the U.S. and kill a citizen” though these latest reports indicate that the White House Administration is not confident in their UAV’s ability to successfully end the life of a U.S. citizen.
In addition to current discussions, the president is scheduled next week to meet with a nonpartisan silo of nuclear warheads to find out if, hypothetically, they have the ability to destroy earth.
How do you do a pre-meeting pat-down on an UAV?
