Activists to Obama: Stop the proliferation of drones



For a guy who won a Nobel Peace Prize and rallied against many of the things then outgoing ex-President Bush was doing, why is he doing many of the same?

The continuous use of drones without restraint, any type of direct supervision or safe guards kind of is alarming, especially coming from a president that was supposed to be a champion of people's freedoms, rights and the American way?

Kind of seems like the whole "War on Terror" is creating more terrorists than eliminating them...
