Speaking on Democracy Now!, Col. Lawrence Wilkerson -- the longtime aide to former Secretary of State Colin Powell -- warns against the expanding U.S. drone war and President Obama's nomination of one of its key architects, John Brennan, to head the Central Intelligence Agency. "What's happening with drone strikes around the world right now is, in my opinion, as bad a development as many of the things we now condemn so readily with 20/20 hindsight in the George W. Bush administration. We are creating more enemies than we are killing. We're doing things that violate international law, even killing American citizens without due process and have an attorney general that has says due process does not necessarily include the legal process." On Brennan, Wilkerson adds: "I think we ought to have a really, really hard discussion about what he represents [and] will probably take to the directorship of the CIA."
