Show & Tell: "Signature" Drone Strikes, Terror Tactic?
Last time we told you how the CIA is trying to expand the drone war in Yemen. They hope to launch future strikes without knowing who the targets may be. We asked if you thought these signature drone strikes can be considered a terror tactic. Now, we told you about the case of Francis Grady, the man that tried to burn down a planned parenthood in Wisconsin. While he's facing jail time, he's not being charged with domestic terrorism, whereas we've seen people get that charge just for translating documents online. So, is there a double standard on what counts as domestic terrorism?
