WASHINGTON (AP) ? President Barack Obama says his administration is willing to consider accepting increased oversight of lethal drone strikes outside of war zones like Afghanistan.
In a speech on new contours of his counterterrorism strategy, Obama took note Thursday of a number of proposed ways of doing that ?- including the establishment of an independent oversight board in the executive branch of the government.
He did not endorse any particular proposal but said he will engage Congress in exploring a number of options for increased oversight. He cautioned that some proposals may introduce a layer of bureaucracy into national-security decision-making, without giving the public added confidence in the oversight process.
Obama also said that his administration already briefs Congress on all drone operations.
