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.

    178 CHILD terrorists?!? Drones are a lawless & cowardly way of assassinating ANYONE ANYWHERE with due process of law. Use of drones in Yemen & Pakistan are aggressive acts of war against the people of these sovereign nations. It must stop. CONGRESS: Your job is oversight – Do what we elected you do do! Demand transparency & ACT.

    The United States has lost it’s moral compass & any pretense of holding moral high ground.

    STOP THE INSANITY – Killing hundreds of thousands of people will never stop terrorism – Does anyone in WDC remember the German nation of WWII?

    Unmanned drones have the potential to make war appear less costly in the context of human lost, but are they? Stop these attacks.

    I am concerned that the US has become spiritually sick. Since when do we allow the president to kill people? The disheartening issue is we are allowing him to get away with it.

    the drone program of targeted killings is murder……innocents are being killed and others that may seem justified for attack should be subject to the rule of law, these killings are not happening in a combat zone with advancing ground troops
