Sen. Dianne Feinstein halted the hearing for approximately five minutes after at least five protesters interrupted the proceedings. She ordered the protesters out of the room, resuming it with no public allowed in the hearing.
One protester held up what appeared to be a doll, saying she was speaking for the "mothers of children killed in drone strikes."
"They won't even tell Congress what countries we are killing children in," she said.
Here's a shot of one of the protesters holding up a scroll with the names of people who have been killed by drones:
