Under the old rules “murder in violation of the laws of war” was defined as killings by people who did not meet “the requirements for lawful combatancy,” which would have suggested that CIA drone operators – who are not members of the military and do not wear a military uniform – could be charged with war crimes for killing individuals using drones. 'Individuals' in the case in point are Al Qaeda combatants also not wearing uniforms. The circumstances of war have changed a lot since men lined up toe to toe pointing muskets at one another, one side wearing blue the other red. I realize the heart of concern is over innocent bistanders but policy needs to take the each variable into account not just one and in this case there is a colonization of diverse variables. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) charged last week that the Obama administration changed a new manual on military commissions rules to accommodate its illegal drone program. The manual needs to be revised continually in response to changing circumstance, if it is to be relevant at all. Personally I don't think they are doing nearly enough if that is all that was done.
