There Must Be Accountability for U.S. Drone Strikes

The Bureau of Investigative Journalism, heralded as the leading authority for drone-strike casualty numbers by the recent report entitled Living Under Drones by Stanford and NYU researchers, reports 178 children have died in Yemen and Pakistan as a result of U.S. drone strikes. War Costs has produced a video and report on the topic. 

Please consider joining us in our appeal to leaders of the U.S. House of Representatives to reintroduce H. Res. 819,  which calls for more accountability and transparency for U.S. Drone policy.

Speaker Boehner and Minority Leader Pelosi, 

H. Res. 819 calls for the release of the legal justification of U.S. drone strikes that have killed civilians in targeted areas, as numerous reports have detailed. 

Please reintroduce this bill to the House floor this month, as too much of U.S. government's drone policy is kept secret from Congress and the American people.

    All those crying for the Newtown child victims should be grieving the loss of these equally precious children.

    The U.S.A is bringing up a generation of children to know nothing but endless war. It’s no wonder it’s not safe in the streets, or even the classroom.

    We wail and cry when our children are killed by a madman in Newtown, CT, but we do not cry for the children we murder? Only a madman murders children. If we indeed have madmen running the country, then you should resign. Stop the bloodshed. I do not endorse this nor do I endorse any politician that is so dishonest and evil that he/she thinks that a single drop of blood shed due to drone attacks is justifiable.
