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.

    We decry terrorist acts that kill innocents in this country, but refuse to call our killing of innocents in other countries terrorism. It’s terrorism to the victims. You are what you do, not what you say. Stop the drones!

    John Boehner and Nancy Pelosi: Please re-introduce H. Res. 819 and stop this madness. It is the right and moral thing to do. Years from now, when people reflect on the history of this time…. America’s name and honor will be tainted by this violence. Mr. Boehner, Ms. Pelosi it is within your power to write the next chapter, one in which America wakes up an mends her ways. Please watch the film: Living Under Drones and imagine what these people’s lives must be like. Imagine if it was your life, your children’s lives. Please, do the right thing, for the sake of the children.


    thank you, Charlotte Lindsey

    Committing these horrible offenses against humanity is deplorable. The fact that you flat-out lie about it to the American people to keep us placated is… I don’t think there’s a word terrible enough for that.


    Here are 178 short messages: one from each CHILD civilian you said you didn’t kill but actually did.

    This isn’t something that you can fool the public into thinking is being done to protect the nation, this is just plain old murder. You are the terrorists. Be a human again. Stop with the drones.

    It is so wrong to kill innocent children and adults. It seems the drone war is a failure, how can we be doing this?

    There is only one way to evaluate this. If another country were killing civilians in the USA, by any means, for any reason at all, would that be OK?


    If not, then this is only happening because the USA has the power and a bullying mentality.
