Obama Will Not Roll Back Drone Program Before Trump Takes Office
----------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, The Guardian is reporting that President Obama will not
tighten rules governing the U.S. drone assassination program before
Donald Trump's inauguration. The decision will leave Trump with the
world's most lethal program of targeted killings. The Obama
administration said this year that between 64 to 116 civilians have been
killed in drone attacks since Obama took office. However, monitoring
groups estimate the death toll from drone-related killings is as much as
10 times higher than that estimate.
