The latest episode of Intelligence² Debates is over the resolution, "The U.S. Drones Program is Fatally Flawed." It's an interesting program, though I have to say that I think the Oxford Union debate this spring in which Ken and I participated is better. The IQ² debate has a pretty start-studded lineup too. Arguing for the resolution are Pakistani journalist Ahmed Rashid and former State Department official John Kael Weston.

The latest episode of Intelligence² Debates is over the resolution, "The U.S. Drones Program is Fatally Flawed." It's an interesting program, though I have to say that I think the Oxford Union debate this spring in which Ken and I participated is better. The IQ² debate has a pretty start-studded lineup too. Arguing for the resolution are Pakistani journalist Ahmed Rashid and former State Department official John Kael Weston. Arguing against it are former DNI Dennis Blair and former Air Force chief of staff Norman Schwartz. The U.S. Drone Program is Fatally Flawed from Intelligence Squared U.S. Debates on FORA.tv For those who missed it, here's the Oxford Union debate from last spring and some of my thoughts on it.
