"Where's your outrage over Syrian and Iranian Intelligence and their tactics?"
Even though this isn't addressed at me, my response would be: Where it belongs, in conversations with Syrian and Iranian intelligence officials.
For all we know, they excuse what they do with what the US is doing. There was the cold war, then that ended, and without missing a beat military budgets kept growing. Now there's Al Quaeda (former resistance fighters against the Soviet Union, whee), and China. There's always something. It's propaganda 101, and they do the same. The game isn't "nation X against nation Y", it's elites in all nations against their populations.
"I'm not defending all of the actions of those agencies, but I will certainly defend their mission and goals."
But we ARE talking about their actual actions, instead of their espoused goals, so how is that relevant? We get it, it's not nice for drones to see free people... then just look elsewhere, because we aren't going away.
