White House press secretary said Tuesday the administration's use of drones is "legal," "ethical," and "wise," at a press briefing following remarks by President Obama.
"These strikes are legal, they are ethical and they are wise," Carney said.
NBC News reported late Monday on an unclassified Department of Justice white paper on the use of drones against American citizens, like al Qaeda operatives Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan.
