Mike Rodgers was on Andrea Mitchell yesterday and heavily implied that the Intelligence Committee does do oversight on the drone strikes, but only after they occur. I’d like to hear more about the “oversight” and why it doesn’t happen on the front end.

(CNN) – As CIA Director-nominee John Brennan faces questions Thursday in his Senate confirmation hearings, polls show a vast majority of Americans back the use of military drones–a tactic strongly supported by Brennan.

According to a poll conducted in December, well before the president tapped his top counterterrorism adviser for the nomination, three-quarters of Americans said they support the use of unmanned aerial vehicles abroad to target non-American citizens deemed as threats to the United States.

The Fairleigh Dickinson University’s PublicMind poll, which also showed little partisan divide on the issue, falls in line with an ABC News/Washington Post poll released a year ago, which showed 83% approved of the military practice.

But the public feels differently about another tactic–also supported by the Obama administration–which involves using drones overseas to attack American citizens suspected of terrorist activity. According to the Fairleigh Dickinson University’s PublicMind poll, 48% of Americans said it’s illegal for the U.S. to attack its own citizens in such situations, while 24% said the practice should be considered legal.
