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.

    I am also emphatically opposed to the proposed use of drones domestically for surveillance. This is another example of infringement of privacy and civil liberties here in the USA.

    I feel sick about our drone policy. Even if we “succeed” in killing terrorists, we kill innocent people and create more enemies. Please do all you can to end this!

    For a pediatrician who has used his career to save children’s lives and promote their health and happiness it is shocking that the USA continues to sacrifice the lives and health of children for its vanity and wealth!

    This is not the way to get to our enemies — you’re killing innocent people, including women and children

    Please proceed with this Resolution (819) before America experiences alien drones over our airspace or the country is charged with crimes against humanity or both!!

    The use of drones is morally despicable.


    If moral discourse does not move our leaders, then they need to remember: What goes round, comes round.


    A moment of reflection from the perspective of self interest shows that the US may be in store for another taste of its own special foreign policy brew that it has been dishing out to weaker states.


    Blowback is real. Just give things time.
