Why Isn’t The Murder Of An American Boy An Impeachable Offense?

Posted on by

“In 1998, President Bill Clinton was impeached for perjury and obstruction of justice for matters arising out of the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal.  If perjury and obstruction of justice constitute high crimes or misdemeanors, then doesn’t it seem rather obvious that the murder of an American citizen by the president would also constitute a high crime or misdemeanor, especially if the citizen is a child?  Proponents of the war on terrorism argue that the killing of the teenager wasn’t really a murder but rather an assassination. But how is Obama’s killing of Abdulrahman any different from Pinochet’s murder of Orlando Letelier and Ronni Moffitt?”

Nancy Pelosi: Obama Can Execute Americans in Secret ‘Depending On Timing’

Posted on by

“House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) thinks we’d be asking too much of Obama if we demanded the President publicly acknowledge when he targets a US citizen for assassination. If President Obama wants to drop a bomb on an American with a drone in total secrecy, he should be able to do so. This month’s leak of a Justice Department white paper describing the administration’s legal rationale for executing Americans has put extra emphasis on Obama’s drone war, with many critical commentators pointing out how he has appointed himself Judge, Jury, and Executioner in the war on terror. This is a status quo Pelosi seems eager to uphold.”

U.S. deploys Predator drones, 100 Air Force personnel to Niger

Posted on by

“The United States has deployed several Predator drones to Niger to fly surveillance missions in support of French forces in Mali, a US defense official said Friday.  The unarmed robotic aircraft are flying out of Niamey at a base with a 100-strong contingent of Air Force personnel, the defense official told AFP on condition of anonymity.  President Barack Obama announced earlier on Friday that the US troops were sent to the West African country to provide ‘support for intelligence collection and will also facilitate intelligence sharing with French forces conducting operations in Mali, and with other partners in the region.'”

Revealed: Al-Qaeda’s 22 Tips For Dodging Drones

Posted on by

“In support of Ibyan province (Yemen) Military Research Workshop.  I have said in my article ‘Strategies of Capabilities for Ansar al-Sharia’ that the American retaliation against the Mujahideen military movements in Ibyan province will be restricted to the war of the drone. My expectations have been assured after the recent New York Times leakage that the CIA will handle the situation, and for this, it set up a secret military base for the drones in a neighboring country.  It is important now that we understand this American army strategy and discuss ways to disable this strategy.”

Julian Assange on Real Time With Bill Maher: NDAA Kill List

“WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange weighed in on the brewing controversy surrounding the Obama administration’s targeted killing program Friday night during an appearance on ‘Real Time With Bill Maher.’  Assange railed against the revelation, made by NBC News earlier this week, that the U.S. government reserves the right to extrajudicially kill U.S. citizens, as long as they are perceived to be ‘imminent’ terror threats — with ‘imminence’ being given an especially broad definition.”

Terrifying Video Demonstrates Bug-Sized Lethal Drones Being Developed By U.S. Air Force

Posted on by

“Yes, in a world with micro-drones, casualties of American drone strikes will likely decrease, given that we’d be directly killing targets rather than obliterating them and everything around them with a missile from the sky. But the possibility for such precisely targeted surveillance and assassination, at the hands of a virtually-untraceable little ‘bug,’ gives our government one more tool to easily evade supervision and accountability.”

Pentagon’s New High-tech Warfare Medal Draws Backlash

Pentagon’s New High-tech Warfare Medal Draws Backlash

“The Distinguished Warfare Medal will be awarded to pilots of unmanned aircraft, offensive cyberwar experts or others who are directly involved in combat operations, but who are not physically in theater and facing the physical risks that warfare historically entails.  The new medal, announced Wednesday by Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, will have precedence over — and be worn on a uniform ahead of — the Bronze Star with Valor device, awarded to troops for specific heroic acts performed under fire in combat.  It is the first new forcewide medal recognizing combat achievement since the Bronze Star was created in 1944.”

‘Anything That Moves’: Civilians And The Vietnam War

Posted on by

“On March 16, 1968, between 347 and 504 unarmed Vietnamese civilians were gunned down by members of the U.S. Army in what became known as the My Lai Massacre.  The U.S. government has maintained that atrocities like this were isolated incidents in the conflict. Nick Turse says otherwise. In his new book, Kill Anything That Moves: The Real American War in Vietnam, Turse argues that the intentional killing of civilians was quite common in a war that claimed 2 million civilian lives, with 5.3 million civilians wounded and 11 million refugees.”

Drones not just for foreign attacks, will fill up the U.S. skies

Posted on by

“Suddenly drones are everywhere — not in the skies over the United States, as they will be by the thousands in a few years, and not just hovering over foreign battlefields to strike terror in the heart of al-Qaida — but as the focus of debate in the U.S. Congress and elsewhere.  Inevitably, the U.S. Supreme Court will be asked to determine whether the use of extrajudicial lethal force against those marked as terrorists posing an imminent threat, including U.S. citizens, is constitutional. The court also will be asked to determine how intrusive drones can be when flown over domestic air space by government, law enforcement and private companies.”
