War Crimes by Terminator Drones; Barbarism of An Empire. "The use of lethal force by the United States in countries such as Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia -- countries we are not at war with -- constitutes an already troubling method of waging war in which we are accountable to no one. As Philip Alston, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial, Summary or Arbitrary Executions recognizes: 'Not even the American public, let alone the international community, knows when and where the CIA has authorized the kill, the criteria for individuals who may be killed, how the CIA insures killings are legal, and what follow-up there is when civilians are illegally killed. It follows that the international law requirements of transparency and accountability are comprehensively violated.'
"The drone program is operating with increasing impunity. Last year, it was reported that the CIA had added U.S. citizens to its targeted killing list, in subversion of their basic constitutional rights and due process of law. Intelligence operations that have no transparency, no accountability and no oversight inevitably leads to violations of international law and violations of the Constitution of the United States.

"It is no secret that drone strikes conducted by the CIA abroad as part of our counter-terrorism operations have resulted in the deaths of innocent civilians. According to a study by the New America Foundation of U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan, at least 32% of those killed by the strikes were civilians. I have long argued that the legal justification for the use of drones in Pakistan could be used to justify strikes in other countries we are not at war with. The concern that our current legal framework will stretch the battlefield to anywhere in the world appears to be coming true.

"Earlier this year, the House passed the Fiscal Year 2012 National Defense Authorization Act which included dangerous and unprecedented language declaring that the United States is in an armed conflict with not only al Qaeda and the Taliban, but 'associated forces' and individuals, organizations and nations that support such forces. The President could then have the full legal authority to send American troops to engage in acts of war anywhere--Yemen, Somalia, Iran, even the United States--without constitutionally required Congressional authorization and, consequently, without any restrictions or oversight from the American people or Congress.

"The increasing malleability of who the United States calls its enemies and the legal justification it uses to go after them significantly undermines our moral standing, international law and laws of war. This technology and this malleability are leading us toward a state of permanent global war."

  • This video speaks for itself. Favorited and profoundly sad witnessing this crime against Humanity, Lisa

  • Sometimes drones can kill innocent civilians for GOOD cause.

    Like the feel good War for Democrazy in Libya 'to protect fully armed mercanaries from Qatar and the UAE and Western Special Advisors'.

    Sometimes Schools and hospitals need to be blown up so a country can have 'freedom of speech' as long as that speech says YES to NATO and Alqeada.

    Anyone who thinks otherwise is a 'communist', 'socialist' and an apologist to an evil tyrant and a Racist.

    A Drone coming your way!

  • they suffer, the facts. sad . sad sad sad sad

  • Google this, "Soon, Drones Could Kill Without Human Guidance", using facial recognition and software. Now we know the real reason behind facial recognition software and airport body scanners. There is a high probability that these computerized weapons will become independent and cannot be controlled any longer by human beings.

  • voce parece que e contra obama, mais nao tem so ele de criminoso no mundo tem mais jente e muitas nacois criminosas

  • eu sou contra guerras, mais tem uns ignorante no mundo que quer controlar o  planeta acham que nunca vao morrer, pensam que vai ficar para cemente na nossa mae terra

  • That is terrible. Thank you for raising awareness.

    Check out our short film about the Occupy Wall Street movement. Down with the corrupt elites!

  • It is sick, Obama is a sick **** to speak the lies that he speaks. So are the sick ****s that he works for, who pay him to keep him where he is. His position and his words are shallow, as are the sick maggot coward ****s who operate these machines.

  • @illusion5444 , "all because they(iran) doesnt want to go with the program." meaning that iran doesnt want to accept or respect, I should say "bow down" to the united states like mostly every other country on earth has, that the united states in turn starts not liking iran. thats my guess. its pretty scary, AMERICA is a scary country. a global military, thousands of nukes. its a scary country and i live here. we should start apologizing to the iraqis, ect start making some ammends fast.

  • @bigoxtailbone2 , and considering the U.S. really believes it is above the law, for example, breaking all international law in invading Iraq, really no country is safe from the United States. A "pre-emptive" war. If the U.S. wants to its gonna attack you, and probably some nations dont feel safe, like Iran. America has some countries on edge, but I think America likes it that way.
