Could We Stop ''Signature'' Drone Strikes in Yemen and Pakistan?

Robert Naiman, Truthout: The US government has been increasingly carrying out drone strikes in countries with which America is not at war, and killing people with drone strikes who have no dispute with the United States?. The CIA had asked for authority to expand its drone strike campaign in Yemen by launching strikes even when it does not know the identities of those who could be killed.
