Topic: Spider Marks

Retired General "Spider" Marks argued on CNN that drone strikes against American citizens should be considered intellectually consistent whether the target is overseas or on U.S. soil. He used the hypothetical example of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, suggesting that if drone technology had existed, it would have been preferable to use a drone against Timothy McVeigh's truck. This rhetoric is viewed as a precursor to normalizing the use of lethal drone technology within the United States.
