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.

    “War is a Racket” and very profitable to those who delight in the death and destruction of random people and their environments. Our Nation’s great people and our riches must be protected from this biggest enemy, the black-hearted arms-dealers and financiers and their puppet-headed revolving door lackeys in our government, D’s and R’s alike. Bloody hand disease is epidemic in all branches of our government.

    Please reintroduce HR 819. Citizens are responsible for their democracy. Citizens are in charge. This is what we want. Accountability.

    Our government gives aid to the Pakistani military while the Pakistani military gives aid to the Taliban. Bradley Manning is charged with giving aid to the enemy, but it is Bush and Obama who have gotten our soldiers killed while pursuing a policy of lies and deceit. Will it turn out that the drone program, like the Phoenix Program, is really about eliminating opposition to the plans of U.S. corporations for mineral theft (known in the Old West as claim jumping)?
