".....they just use drones to do the dirty work....." Wrong! Neither the GCHQ nor NSA operate armed drones. The people that do are the respective armed forces of Britain and the U.S., and - allegedly - the CIA.

"......I guess that makes it more palatable for some people." When those drones are used they are striking at real terrorists and I have zero problem with killing them or the 'innocent bystanders' they are being assisted by. The drones are used when it is impractical or too risky to send special forces in to do the job. The virtual elimination of Al Quaeda has shown just how effective they are, which is probably what makes them unpalatable for some people.
