Problem Memorandum on Use of Drones

Jim has laid out a serious justification for the dangers of pervasive drone use. Referencing statistical information about the increased use of drones enhanced his position that issues concerning drone use deserve urgent attention. Jim also cites some successful drone operations (killing 22 out of 30 key Al Queda leaders), but he could have strengthened his argument by referencing some of the tragedies that have come from an increased use of militarized drones. Many organizations keep records of civilian deaths that result from U.S. drone strikes: Yemeni weddings, Afghan hospitals, etc. Additionally, Jim asks a lot of important questions about oversight of the drone program, but with further research, he could find the answers to many of these questions which will result in a stronger argument.
