he started a national conversation about the use of drones at home and abroad that promises to go on much longer than 13 hours.

This "conversation," what do you think the "outcome" will be? Will a "rational" "decision" be reached on any point?

Reason again conflates surveillance drones with weaponized drones, in a way that one would never conflate a tank with a police car or a traffic helicopter with an Apache.

Once again proving that we're all Luddites when we don't like what the tech is being used for.
