I’ve studied US drone strikes, I wrote a book called “Drones and Terrorism,” and this Caribbean strike is different.

Lethal fire at a non-threatening target in a non-hostile environment on purpose when other means, such as capture, were easily doable, and without even attempting a legal rationale.

I am delighted to say that Lars Vinx and I have signed a contract with @universitypress.cambridge.org for our Handbook on the Limits of Constituent Power. The aim of the Handbook is to shed much-needed critical light on the concept and practice of constituent power.
