America's drone campaigns are morally, legally and strategically irresponsible.
Morally: Distance from the battlefield produces psychological detachment in soldiers/technicians. Civilian tolls are high (http://huff.to/1SDx2xL) and "signature strikes" (http://wapo.st/1SDxjAV) target people whose identities are not even known.
Legally: Amnesty International (http://bit.ly/1Lm9ooZ) and Human Rights Watch (http://bit.ly/1GeOaua) have documented the legal issues with drone strikes.
Strategically: Drone campaigns turn public opinion against the US, empowering groups like Al Qaeda (http://brook.gs/1SObOO0). AQAP membership has swelled as a result of America's drone war.
Mr. President, please use your final months in office to curb the drone program and end "signature strikes."
