Topic: Signature Strikes

A slip of the tongue by journalist Bob Woodward, referring to German Chancellor Angela Merkel with male pronouns, is used to fuel a recurring joke about her gender. The discussion then turns to "signature strikes," where the CIA targets individuals based on behavioral patterns rather than confirmed identity. These strikes are criticized for their lack of judicial oversight and high civilian casualty rates.

A New York Times report detailed the death of a 12-year-old Pakistani boy named Tariq, who was killed by a U.S. drone strike while trying to document drone casualties. The hosts discuss "signature strikes" based on behavioral patterns and the lack of public outcry over civilian deaths. They also note Rick Perry's support for using drones on the U.S. border.
