Zero Hedge: Watch: Rand Paul Grills Sec. Blinken: "You'd Think You'd Know Before You Off Someone With A Predator Drone" 

Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky was the one Congressional leader who went "gloves off" in grilling Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Tuesday over the US drone strike in Kabul last month which came in the final days of the chaotic evacuation and troop pullout. 

The Pentagon has continued this week to defend the Aug.29 attack which it says was against an ISIS-K target in the vehicle which was utterly destroyed. 

This despite a detailed New York Times investigation which found it killed 10 Afghan civilians, including seven children, with the original target likely being an aid worker and not a terrorist at all.
