Today, Droney The Friendly Killer-Drone is in a colloquy with General David Betrayus (ask Mrs. Petraeus). There is exquisite irony that General Betrayus was brought low by the FBI's extralegal examinaton of e-mail between Betrayus and his biographer as well as a related investigation of e-mail between the Tampa socialite and Marine Corps General John Allen, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan. (Hell, both men are generals and both women are bimbos.) Extralegal is as extralegal does: drones and e-mail. If this is (fair & balanced) contempt for abuse of power, so be it.
