President Obama will outline a new course against terror in his first national security speech of his second term. The president is expected to announced two big goals: scaling back on drone strikes and announcing, once again, to close Guantanamo Bay. The speech a day after the administration admitted using drones to kill suspected terrorists and foreign enemies and after four Americans were killed with drones.
