The Sun headlines with a typical unsympathetic 'Wham, Bam, thank you Cam' in response to the governments decision to kill 2 Brits in Syria with a drone who were allegedly plotting nasty stuff. I don't think The Guardian's lead was quite the same as that. Let's hope the parents are not Sun readers.
I've always thought that finishing people off by drone is quite a clinical, albeit crude, way of doing the job. I don't suppose it's much different in principle from the old fashioned James Bond style of assassination, and is at least quite safe for the executioners. There's a scene in the film Syriana where the generals in the US target a bad boy and zap him from afar. Quite a good film by the way and well worth watching.
