"Have we made detention and interrogation so legally difficult and politically risky that our default option is to kill our adversaries rather than capture and interrogate them?"He neglects to mention that to capture people, you have to get close to them. Which is a physical risk.
I also think that for most Americans it feels cleaner to kill an enemy combatant on the field than to torture him in a room.
We have various rules
against being cruel,
but when you get blown
apart by a drone,
it's common belief
that the pain will be brief.
