[we have always been at war with al-Q]
Oh, and that's war? What's the CIA doing with Hellfires? I remember now: everyone who has been empowered by the constitution (and who are overseen by Congress) to "fight war" (as oposed to "collect intelligence to support policy") is too chickenshit to try it, and those Company Boys can wrangle out of reporting to Congress now and again.
Nice and tidy, that's the way we like it.
