Sorry, I didn't realize you were trying to play the semantics gotcha game. I used my words incorrectly. I have no idea what the RoE are, but I do know that the entire reason for the shift of the drone program from CIA to military was so that there would be more accountability and oversight over the program. Had just stating the ROE were the same in the two programs been sufficient, then the pressure to make the change to the DoD would not have been at the level it was. Not to mention that because of the lower levels of oversight and accountability can allow for a statement to be made regarding the RoE and then immediately overturned without the fanfare.
