If the Senate passes this Friday the same text on the U.S. budget on Wednesday endorsed the House of Representatives , the White House plan to transfer full control to the Pentagon lethal drone operations that the CIA runs abroad could be seriously hampered. The law includes a classified annex that has been known in The Washington Post that the use of funds to give all the competition on drone attacks Department of Defense is restricted. This maneuver Congressional exceedingly hard transition to military control of the use of drones against terrorism in order to ensure greater transparency of these programs that President Barack Obama announced in May last year.

The inclusion of the clause in a law agreed by both Houses and both parties is a further setback in implementing the political agenda of Obama already has been subjected to all kinds of tripping and obstruction by the House of Representative's efforts to thwart virtually every one of the reforms that the president wants to undertake . In this case , the measure seriously hampers the efforts of the White House provide some transparency and modify terrorism overseas strategy and intentions of the new director of the CIA , John Brennan, to demilitarize the agency and return to the preponderance intelligence operations and espionage.
The clause could satisfy those skeptical politicians with the capacity of the Department of Defense to conduct drone operations with the same precision and low error that the CIA , but has caused outrage among civil rights groups , more libertarian wing and veteran GOP senators like John McCain who consider the provision meddling in the politics of covert missions and counterterrorism strategy in both the agency and the Pentagon. " It is a violation of every one of the procedures and processes that are supposed to Congress should preserve ," said the Republican .
In May 2013, and full debate over the relevance and effectiveness of secret drone raids conducted by the CIA , the U.S. president said in a speech on counterterrorism policy of his administration at the University of National Defense of its intention to transfer control of these operations to the Pentagon in order to provide more transparency program U.S. drones . In February 2013 , during Senate hearings for confirmation of course, the director of the agency itself agreed with that possibility. " The CIA should not be conducting military operations and activities ," said Brennan.
Two programs for the same mission
The idea of the transfer and the need to clarify the parameters of action programs drones and try to conform to the principles established by international law a broad consensus on Capitol Hill , but the differences in performance and monitoring when raids operate with this type of aircraft by the Joint Operations Command of the Army and the CIA , the only two competent to perform such attacks abroad, are delaying the implementation of the plan announced by Obama .

Although a priori it may seem that the objectives and purpose of the drone attacks directed by the Pentagon and the CIA are similar , the differences in their modus operandi are crucial. Agency 's flights are classified as covert actions under Title 50 and as such , the government is not legally obligated to provide any information on the effect of the steps or specific objectives. However, the level executed under the direction of Joint Operations Command operations are considered "armed forces" and their knowledge is public. This dichotomy is very useful from the diplomatic and operational point , because the secrecy surrounding the CIA flights allowing U.S. to operate almost anywhere, while the Army can only carry out hostile actions in war zones recognized .
From the point of view of external relations , the reserve surrounding the CIA programs is much more attractive and poses far fewer problems openly accept the fact that the U.S. Army serving in their territory. When Obama proposed the idea of transferring control of all the counterterrorism programs the Pentagon drones , several congressmen expressed doubts that the Pakistani government , one that has authorized such flights, allowing them to be targeted within its territory U.S. soldiers.

The plan to deprive the CIA of the direction of the drone attacks is not new. In 2004 , the Commission of 11- S Congress recommended " cede responsibility for directing and executing paramilitary operations , both covert and clandestine the Defense Department " to avoid "creating authorities and redundant powers and overlapping in a job as delicate " . The CIA seriously considered this proposal as it believed that such actions would be limited , however , a decade , has become the main strategy against international terrorism in the U.S..
Congress 's amendment is a barrier to the aspirations of resuming the suggestion of the committee, but there are specialists who argue that from the Capitol could bring even more obstacles , such as requiring the Pentagon to meet with the same parameters and follow the same methodology as the CIA or train pilots in the same way .
