Paul Craig Roberts: In Amerika Law No Longer Exists; the extermination of truth

Posted on by

“In the 21st century Americans have experienced an extraordinary collapse in the rule of law and in their constitutional protections. Today American citizens, once a free people protected by law, can be assassinated and detained in prison indefinitely without any evidence being presented to a court of their guilt, and they can be sentenced to prison on the basis of secret testimony by anonymous witnesses not subject to cross examination. The US ‘justice system’ has been transformed by the Bush/Obama regime into the ‘justice system’ of Gestapo Germany and Stalinist Russia. There is no difference.”

Former Obama Intel Chief: Pentagon, Not CIA Should Control Drone Strikes

Posted on by

“Admiral Dennis Blair, the Director of National Intelligence from January 2009 to May 2010, told a Council on Foreign Relations conference call that current U.S. policy has created ‘all kinds of legal knots’ regarding how and when America uses the controversial counterterrorism tactic.  Last week The Washington Post reported that the Obama administration is almost done with its ‘playbook’ designed to establish clear rules for targeted-killing operations, but the CIA will continue to be exempt from the rules for the next year or more.”

Talk of CIA prisons censored at Guantanamo hearing

Posted on by

“US authorities censored part of a preliminary hearing Monday at a Guantanamo military tribunal that touched on CIA secret prisons where suspected 9/11 plotters say they were tortured.  Reporters watched the proceedings against the five 9/11 suspects at the US naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba behind a thick, sound-proof glass wall and listened to piped-in audio with a 40-second delay.  But when a defense lawyer mentioned the CIA secret sites at Monday’s hearing, a red light flashed on and the sound from the courtroom was cut off.  The audio from the proceedings was replaced by white noise, preventing journalists from listening.”

U.S. military plans to build drone base in North Africa

Posted on by

“The US military plans to set up a base for drones in northwest Africa to bolster surveillance of Al-Qaeda’s affiliate in the region as well as allied Islamist extremists, a US official told AFP on Monday.  The base for the robotic, unmanned aircraft would likely be located in Niger, on the eastern border of Mali, where French forces are currently waging a campaign against Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.  If the plan gets the green light, up to 300 US military service members and contractors could be sent to the base to operate the drone aircraft, according to the New York Times.”

Pakistan Unhappy Over Reports US Drone Strikes Will Continue

Posted on by

“Leaders in Pakistan are outraged at reported U.S. plans to continue controversial drone strikes against suspected al-Qaida-linked sanctuaries on Pakistani soil. They are calling it ‘close to a perpetual war,’ and say it is exactly opposite to what President Barack Obama stated in his inaugural speech on Monday.  U.S. drone strikes on targets in Pakistani regions along the border with Afghanistan remain highly controversial and are deeply unpopular in Pakistan.  Pakistan publicly condemns the drone campaign and wants the U.S. to end it, saying that it not only violates the country’s sovereignty, but that collateral damage caused by the strikes is fueling militancy in the region.”

Who Says You Can Kill Americans, Mr. President?

Posted on by

“Presidents had never before, to our knowledge, targeted specific Americans for military strikes. There are no court decisions that tell us if he is acting lawfully. Mr. Obama tells us not to worry, though, because his lawyers say it is fine, because experts guide the decisions and because his advisers have set up a careful process to help him decide whom he should kill.  He must think we should be relieved.  Oddly, under current law, Congress and the courts are involved when presidents eavesdrop on Americans, detain them or harshly interrogate them — but not when they kill them.”

UN to investigate legality of U.S drone strikes

Posted on by

“A newly-announced UN inquiry into the rise of drone strikes and targeted killings around the world has drawn measured optimism and concerns from national security experts and the international human rights community.  While 51 states possess the technology to use drones, according to Emmerson, the US is responsible for the vast majority of the world’s drone strikes and the practice of targeted killing has become a central component of the Obama administration’s efforts to combat al-Qaida. According to the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, CIA drone strikes in Pakistan alone have resulted in as many as 3,461 deaths, including up to 891 civilians.”
