The White House said President Obama’s drone program was legal,” “ethical” and “wise.” However Sen. Angus King, a member of the Senate Armed Forces and Intelligence committees, asked for a profound review of the target-killing program, saying that “the use of lethal force against Americans is a serious and significant issue that deserves paramount attention.”

The hearing comes amid rising concerns of using drones on the US terrirory. A group of US Senators approached President Obama this week, warning that secrecy around the drone program might prove an obstacle to John Brennan’s confirmation to serve as CIA director.
