Obama Revised Guidelines On Drone Strikes

President Barack Obama has revised White House guidelines for when to launch drone strikes against terror suspects. Now, drones will stay grounded if suspects can be captured alive. The guidelines were made public on the same day as the President's national security policy speech at the National Defense University. Since 2009, four Americans have been killed by U.S. drone strikes overseas. In his speech, Obama said he would be open to establishing a special court to approve drone strikes ahead of time. He also renewed his commitment to closing the detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
