Rand Paul was just playing to his base.

Is there a difference between the FBI ordering a seige on an armed encapement risking Law Enforcement officers and ordering a drone attack?

Preemptive attacks are wrong in the US or outside of the US. This administration has not done it yet, but the last administration did, and we can only hope the next one will not.

On the surface, absolutely justified. My hatred of drones is no secret. But considering the source, I'm skeptical of his motive. I agree with "agebel" that he was pandering to his base. This afternoon Randy Rhodes pointed out that Rand Paul was the ultimate recipient of money left over from his father's presidential campaign, much of which was contributed by liberals because of Ron Paul's anti-war position. So Rand Paul just might also be pandering to liberals in an effort to attract more contributions from gullible liberals. Frankly, I wouldn't trust the guy as far as I could throw him. - Aliceinwonderland

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"With the ever-growing influence of corporate CEOs and their right-wing allies in all aspects of American life, Hartmann’s work is more relevant than ever. Throughout his career, Hartmann has spoken compellingly about the value of people-centered democracy and the challenges that millions of ordinary Americans face today as a result of a dogma dedicated to putting profit above all else. This collection is a rousing call for Americans to work together and put people first again."
Richard Trumka, President, AFL-CIO
From Cracking the Code:
"In Cracking the Code, Thom Hartmann, America’s most popular, informed, and articulate progressive talk show host and political analyst, tells us what makes humans vulnerable to unscrupulous propagandists and what we can do about it. It is essential reading for all Americans who are fed up with right-wing extremists manipulating our minds and politics to promote agendas contrary to our core values and interests."
