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.

    Obama’s hypocrisy is infuriating. He assinated a 16 year old US student and his lackies said the child “should have had a better parent.” His mass murders worldwide feeds the slaughter of the innocent in the US.

    Most Americans are unaware of how many children have been killed, and how they and their parents must fear for their lives on a daily basis under the threat created by the U.S. military. I am along with everyone,saddened by the deaths of American children in the recent school shootings. However,in mourning them while ignoring the many children who have died and continually suffer in the name of “protecting” American lives, the weight of this hypocrisy is most staggering.

    The recent, horrific school shooting made me think about all the world’s children. They all deserve the right to live.
