Breaking News: The Welcomed Delay on Drones

 by  Greg Kadajski

Following the release of controversial leaked documents detailing the president's drone policy potentially targeting U.S. citizens, the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee has asked for more time to review documents about the White House's drone policy.

As our Bill Bonner, our Reckoner in Chief, told his Diary of a Rouge Economist readers earlier today:
 

As you may know, the Senate Intelligence Committee was supposed to vote on Brennan's confirmation today. But now it has been rescheduled for a future date. And since Congress is in recess all of next week, we don't expect there will be a vote on his confirmation until the end of the month.

That means we have time to 'do something' about the White House's drone policies. We can tell Obama, the Senate, the House of Representatives, and the Senate Intelligence Committee exactly what we think of Brennan's appointment and of their drone policy here in the U.S.
