Obama to work with Congress on drone-strike policy
AP foreign, Friday February 15 2013
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says he'll work with Congress to help the public understand the circumstances under which the government will target an American citizen with ties to al-Qaida using an unmanned aerial drone.
Obama says he doesn't believe a president can do whatever he wants, whenever, under the guise of counterterrorism.
And, he says it's not enough for U.S. citizens to take his word that, quote, "we're doing the right thing."
