Terror in the Mirror

"These days, in America, drone wars are not part of a moral debate. Discussion of anonymous killing from the air has raised a debate about technicalities, sometimes important technicalities of ordnance, tactics, law, and constitutionality.
If the debate were about morality, we'd admit that our country commits terrorist acts with relative impunity,  and then we'd consider whether that's the country we want to go on being."
