  1. John Brennan's killer drones are new symbol of America in the world

    It is certainly not what he hoped or intended, but one of President Obama’s biggest legacies in foreign affairs may prove to be the proliferation of drones as tools of war, assassination and terror.

  4. Targeted killings: they are too secret

    There are reasons to be relieved by — and concerned about — the reports that the Obama administration is preparing a "playbook" of rules for targeted killings of suspected terrorists abroad. If drone-strike assassinations — which have already killed more than 2,000 people in Pakistan and elsewhere — are to remain an important element of counter-terrorism strategy, it's preferable that there be formal criteria to guide the program. At the same time, the codification of rules further institutionalizes a policy that is morally problematic and may ultimately be self-defeating.

Petraeus as director of the Central Intelligence Agency.
