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.

    Drone Strikes by ANY country for ANY reason are not only immoral but should be illegal. I served during the Vietnam Era and am ashamed and embarassed to find our countrie’s military sold to the highest bidder. Some things are NOT for sale and using our military that we all are making sacrifices to maintain,for acts of TERRORISM ourselves makes me wonder just who the bad guys are now??…..

    Drones make us LESS save by angering communities and creating terrorists. 98% of those killed by drones in Pakistan have NOTHING to do with “terror” or terrorist groups; they are just trying to survive in a difficult environment, now at risk for death by drone at any minute of any day (or night). This expensive, counterproductive, illegal, immoral, and unconscionable drone program MUST END! STOP KILLER DRONES!!!!

    One cannot wage war without accepting the responsibility for deaths, no matter how just and correct the motive for war may be. Please bring this bill to the House for debate and vote. America cannot only stand for power, might, and aggression. It must also stand for human rights.

    People are not collateral. Our technology must not kill innocents. There should be better ways of dealing with “enemies” as well! We treat dogs better. Let’s raise the bar on morals.

    Killing thousands of civilians in foreign countries with unmanned drones is a war crime. The US government is carrying out terrorist attacks, just like the Mafia and other terrorist organizations. How is this any different from what happened to us on 9/11?
