Actor John Cusack has been a consistent critic of unmanned drones no matter who occupies the Oval Office, and while thousands are tweeting today that they #StandWithRand as the senator demands answers on the Obama administration’s drone policy, Cusack is wondering where the progressive Democrats are standing.
For gods sake where are democrats ?? “@democracynow: Rand Paul: Obama Admin Response Drones "More Than Frightening" http://t.co/d1SXpXslei”

Good question“@cenkuygur: Up to 8 Senators now joining the Rand Paul #filibuster. Where are the so-called progressive Democratic senators?”

This tweet is much, much longer than 140 characters, but Cusack wraps it up like this:
AG say its ok to kill us citizens–and other bad guys- but trust us we’re the good guys..
how’d that play out through history mr holder…
pay no attention to the man behind that curtain
the great and powerful O has spoken…

Update: Cusack praises Sen. Wyden as the only “principled Democrat’ to stand with Rand Paul.
