Why is the use of aerial drones so controversial? How do drones challenge the balance of power and create tension within the foreign policy bureaucracy?

What will be an ideal response?

Answers should identify and describe the four major ongoing controversies regarding the use of aerial drones, including that they violate domestic law, that aerial drones violate international law, that they cause unnecessary civilian casualties, and that they set a dangerous precedent for future “blowback” against American actions. Aerial drones also raise several questions regarding the ethics and morality of drone strikes. Answers should address how the use of drones challenges the law regarding the use of force and, despite being used heavily by presidents, are not clearly subjected to congressional oversight. Answers should also acknowledge how drones, which can be used for covert missions but are always operated by the military, can cause tension between the intelligence and defense complex.
