Oh..okay.....ONE news report of just ONE attack...
‘18 Missiles,’ 14 Dead in Latest Drone Attack
http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2010...-drone-attack/
I suppose it is ok with you folks to just kill people with no due justice...no idea of who is innoncent or guilty of anything (I say that because you use the word "civilians" as if we are killing GUILTY folks). I recall the OUTRAGE for putting folks up in the hotel GTMO because they were not proven guilty of anything.
Now, as I understand it on both sides there is agreement that there were
THREE folks waterboarded, albeit a number of times...but
THREE !
Again, this is not a condoning of either action nor an approval of either....just pointing out that those who absolutely tore down anyone and everyone on this forum as well as in the press about the terrible country we had become by waterboarding
THREE people and holding folks who actually had a past of terroist activty in a beautiful place with all the trappings in GTMO,
yet SILENCE on the droning....can anyone explain that to me ?
