Did Obama violate his own rules on drone strikes? (VIDEO)

A high ranking member of the Taliban was killed in Pakistan this week by a US drone strike only days after President Obama announced a shift in the country's counterterrorism operations.

Wali ur-Rehman was among those killed and his death is being lauded as a blow to the Taliban.

Marcy Wheeler of EmptyWheel.net joins Meghan Lopez to discuss what this means for Obama's promise of respecting state sovereignty and his proposed changes in the war against terror.
