Greenwald: NSA’s view of drone opponents as ‘threats’ and ‘adversaries’

“Under the title ‘adversary propaganda themes’, the document lists what it calls ‘examples of potential propaganda themes that could be employed against UAV operations’. It states:  ‘Attacks against American and European persons who have become violent extremists are often criticized by propagandists, arguing that lethal action against these individuals deprives them of due process.’  In the eyes of the US government, ‘due process’ – the idea that the US government should not deprive people of life away from a battlefield without presenting evidence of guilt – is no longer a basic staple of the American political system, but rather a malicious weapon of ‘propagandists’.”
