“The CIA answers to a definable chain of command therefore they are complying with the Laws of Warfare.”

I don’t think that it is quite that simple. For example, in the Geneva Convention there were a lot more requirements to meet than simply having a chain of command in order to qualify as a lawful combatant. Under Geneva Convention standards, the CIA, like any spies, would certainly be classed as unlawful combatants. Any country capturing them would be well within their rights to summarily execute them.

But they're not operating on foreign soil without the permission of the host government. Those drones are also clearly marked as military assets.

And if the CIA employees are committing war crimes, that means that Obama is, too as they answer ultimately to him.

Now were they operating as sabotuers against the lawful government of Afghanistan your point would be valid. And it seems to me that we've had almost a dozen CIA employees murdered by these monsters already.

When are these 'international law' pinheads going to start worrying about that?
