Uncovering the new administration’s drone war policy
By: Kelsey Atherton  

Over three administrations and 16 years, there has been nothing as iconic in the United States’ forever war on terror as the matchstick-with-wings silhouette of the modern drone. Understanding the drone program has never been easy; the covert nature of some of the program, as well as a strong executive emphasis on the needs of national security, meant that even at its most transparent, the drone war was largely opaque. In its third report on drone policy, the Stimson Center finds that after a gradual movement towards more transparency by the end of President Obama’s second term, the Trump administration has fully reversed course.

Our weapons of war shouldn't be transparent.  Especially something like drones where a little piece of info can be a game changer.
Fools mock, tongues wag, babies cry and goats bleat.
