The morality of drone strikes

The morality of drone strikes
- February 1, 2013
- Daniel Brunstetter, political science assistant professor, is featured in a Q&A with Bill Moyers February 1, 2013

From Moyers:
In his 2009 Nobel Peace Prize speech, President Obama defended the right to engage
in “just wars,” evoking a theory of ethical warfare that can be traced back to Saint
Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, and even Cicero. Is the administration’s use of unmanned
drone strikes compatible with the traditional principles of just war? We asked Daniel
Brunstetter, a professor of political science at the University of California, Irvine,
who has written about drones and just war theory for The Atlantic and the journal
Ethics & International Affairs.
