McCain Renews Push to End CIA Control of Drone Strikes

Senator John McCain renewed an effort to end the CIA’s control over U.S. drone strikes after an attack on an al-Qaeda compound in Pakistan killed two hostages.

Now that drones have become “an integral part” of U.S. military operations, it makes sense for such air strikes to be managed by the nation’s armed services rather than by spy agencies, the Arizona Republican said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” program.
