a great article in the washington post by greg miller about uh... c_i_a_
seeking new authority in yemen on drone strings
weight c_e_o_ load of power
horrible this news
the c_i_a_ is seeking authority to expand as greg miller writes isko
overdrawn campaign
in yemen by launching strikes against terrorism suspects
even when it does not know the identities of those who could be killed
u_s_ officials said
fantastic
so now we're killing people
whose identity we don't even know
but add up there in yemen
drop a bomb on their c_f_s_
we really don't know who they are
right but no don't worry we it's not that we have no intelligence were basing
this on
uh... something called signature strikes lists explain here
uh... millard goes on to say secure information
to use the signature strikes would allow the agency to hit targets based solely
on intelligence
indicating patterns
of suspicious behavior
well then there you have
if you're wondering around yemen looking suspicious
well obviously you deserve to be executed with a drone strings
hello
now were executing people
who we have no idea what they are
on the fact that the looks suspicious
now it's not as simple as based on race or anything like that or you know
ethnicity otherwise they'd bomb all of the americas
my guess is for the c_i_a_ all the elements suspicious know what they're
doing is they're using initially that shows
milken's gallery again how do you know they're milt as you know who they are
but they believe that that's the kind of pattern that they would see
and ground architect compounds gift they are tied up in a compounds
and whether there are loading explosives or not
now here's a huge problem union
first of all i could be the eman military this unloading explosives dupes
uh... but more importantly
is a future servicing that's trying to get democracy
where theoretically supposed to be on their side
there are you for democracy
but how do you know if it's in the surgeons or the bad guys out candidly
your head
you literally don't because you don't know who they are
you're doing a base on suspicious behavior
this is a disaster in the making
of but this was this plan is still a firm and this is
i'm being surgical interning only those who have a direct interested attack the
united states
and that's a quote from a source uh... that pam miller has written likes to
boast all the problem with that is
how do you know they have a direct interest in in time the united states
you're even though they are
this is so outrageous but we're going to be misled
by a list of course is what happens
for example uh...
we killed anwar all block these teenagers son he was sixteen years old
we had no information of a lead that he was a terrorist
we i'm not sure a lot of great information that is that was a terrorist
and we executed him on purpose
both u_s_ citizens so his son saturday maa sixteen-year-old killed what do you
know man
uh... here is that senior u_s_ official who is familiar with this proposals
he says quote
how discriminating can they be
which i think is a
excellent question
how discriminating can you meet
waiting for the eight time let me repeat always relics
this is in the paper
both proponents of the planet menopausal plan it great
people talk to the washington since l_a_ and i suppose
c_i_a_ would like to people without knowing who they are
and you think all all my god i i hope they don't do that because i would be so
terrible
well here's a prop
this is a proposal for yet
there are already doing it in pakistan
they've been doing for a long time
and in fact
the last list on this
is that they're saying well this is our program in pakistan works so well that's
why we should do it in yemen yeah i know that's why the people of pakistan seem
to be so much on our side
kit you see how friendly they've been to us all along
their government has set up
could it could it be that sometimes when we dropped indiscriminate bombs on their
heads of that doesn't play well in the country
so here's another quote from the article
the agency river and of course a c_i_a_ has sided the pakistan experience
to administration officials in arguing perhaps counter intuitively
they could be more effective against al qaeda is yemen affiliate
if it doesn't have to identifies targets
before an attack
that we art
in a drawer drawer while novel
well of course we would kill people more accurately if we have no idea who they
are
casey the brilliance of that argument
black is white white is black
the grass is not green the sky is not blue
trust us
let's kill people indiscriminately it's worked for indian pakistan
about a works cited charm in yemen
and we're more job
