This article, written by Dylan Stableford, discusses President Obama's decision to create rules in regards to drone attacks, a system established during George W. Bush's term in office. Obama decided to create these rules after a drone attack on al-Qaida leader, and was rushing to finish them before the elections, in the event Mitt Romney was elected, so his successor would not inherent an incomplete work. Government officials, with now more time to complete them, want to diminish the President's sole power in creating these rules.
Stableford uses extensive quotes and details in his article, to establish his credibility and to enhance the point of his story. He remains mostly neutral, and by doing so, it is unclear whether it is good or bad that the officials want more say in the matter. However, by ending the article with the number of drone attacks under Obama and the petition for the "Do Not Kill" list, it is apparent that he supported such a cause, which protected the United States against drone attacks, though it did not receive the proper amount of signatures.
