Stop and Frisk....NOT.....not equal to the "Near Certainty standard?
From the link below.
After Obama announced the near-certainty standard, the frequency of strikes dropped sharply and the use of so-called signature strikes - attacks aimed at large groups of armed men who fit the profile of militants but whose names were not all known to the CIA - was curtailed.
But White House press secretary Josh Earnest said the targets in January were the compounds used by al-Qaida leaders, not any individuals specifically.
Obama said he took "full responsibility" for the counterterror missions that took the lives of hostages Warren Weinstein and Giovanni Lo Porto, both captured years ago by al-Qaida while working on aid missions in Pakistan. Obama promised a full review to try to prevent similar deaths in the future.
"Our initial assessment indicates that this operation was fully consistent with the guidelines under which we conduct counterterrorism efforts in the region, which has been our focus for years because it is the home of al-Qaida's leadership," Obama said.
"And based on the intelligence that we had obtained at the time, including hundreds of hours of surveillance, we believed that this was an al-Qaida compound; that no civilians were present; and that capturing these terrorists was not possible.
And we do believe that the operation did take out dangerous members of al-Qaida. What we did not know, tragically, is that al-Qaida was hiding the presence of Warren and Giovanni in this same compound."
