here is the interesting thing about saying it is hypothetical and it wouldn't happen. I could buy that, except for the fact that our foreign drone strike program--a significant amount of the drone strikes--are on people not actively engaged in combat. Whether that is right or wrong is another question, but since we already have an example of a significant amount of those being used on those not engaged in active combat, it is hard for him to say this is a rare, unusual, hypothetical thing that could never happen, because it seems as though it is a big part of the drone program overseas.
