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.

    The drone strike policy is an immoral one to say the very least. Not only do they kill innocent people, many of which turn out to be women and children, but only

    serve to add to the cadre of militants that want to do us

    harm! The accountability for these strikes, and also the

    morality of these strikes, and their long term effect on who we are as a nation, and how we are percieved by other nations.

    At this juncture it’s hard for me to respect any of my fellow American citizens holding onto the outdated belief we are “fighting for our country” or that it has anything to do with protecting American soil, freedoms or democracy. Ignorance is tyranny, time to let go of deeply inbreded ideologies that simply are the direct cause of our own decline in freedoms, democracy, security, human rights. Putt he wasted money back into education, infrastructure, healthcare, environmental justice here at home. USA ranks #88 in Global peace today due to our perpetual aggressive foreign policy. there is nothing “Patriotic” about being so unbrave we think we need to fight for “freedom”, nothing brave about killing people, nothing pro-American about our self destructive wars. Our founding fathers warned against this, five of them! Wake up American people.

    Drone attacks are creating as many terrorists as they are killing. Let’s stop playing wack-a-mole and let’s sign on to a sensible foreign policy that doesn’t make us the enemy of so many people.
