Drone attacks

Is anyone else here disturbed by the number and methods these attacks are carried out with and chucking the fifth amendment under the bus to me its seems wrong and in the long run counter productive

The New York Times revealed this week that President Obama personally oversees a "secret kill list" containing the names and photos of individuals targeted for assassination in the U.S. drone war. According to the Times, Obama signs off on every targeted killing in Yemen and Somalia and the more complex or risky strikes in Pakistan. Individuals on the list include U.S. citizens, as well teenage girls as young as 17 years old.
