Interestingly enough, we're talking about the drone's use in warfare, which is important. But what this particular move is about is taking away oversight of the program. The lack of oversight/accountability was why the program was moved from the CIA to the military. The program still existed, but now it was the military in charge of it which is more accountable to the elected officials.
The CIA is less accountable, and there is a lower level of oversight that will exist over the program by moving it back to the CIA. I think we may have forgotten this piece of it all.
