so did disposition matrix is apparently something that exists inside the white
house where they decided
who goes on the kill list who goes on a capture a list
uh... they've got their bios it's out of the washington post wrote a very long
story about that
len beginning slaney kid in the beginning it sounds like a well they
should have a list like this
and some parts of a suburb of going fine until you find out the rest of the story
uh... first of all oppose explains u_s_ officials
said the databases design to go beyond existing
kill less
mapping plans
for the disposition of suspects
beyond the reach of american drops
okay fair enough we want to capture some people we don't want to use drugs kill
everybody
where to figure out where you go
or where you get this post i suppose
in some of these cases
and you know
that we are now uh... getting close to the number three thousand for the number
of people we have killed with a drone strings
now that includes militants
and civilians
at three thousand eight remember of course on nine eleven
nearly three thousand americans died
well kate and it's now are all the people were getting out they don't
unfortunately no there are a lot of civilians in there
at the same time windows some
phase the right way so that was so the draw strikes are
correct there on the right people they've done
through all all the different
that channel semi trailer we've got the right people
and in some cases were not any using frustration shite
like uh... for example those al-qaeda operative apparently named ahmed abu ku
there were some inc
and here's how the post explains what happened i have or something
was held for two months aboard a u_s_ ship
before being transferred to the custody of the justice department and chars in
federal court in new york
now that's actually great
wise a great because we didn't just indiscriminately bomb people
we had a target
we wanna capturing the target which is more ideal
we held a ship for a couple of months of that were brought in here and try to min
federal court
that's how it's supposed to go
all things are always going wrong here sometimes a good exactly right
and in fact
the u_s_ uh... joint special operations command
has outpost uh... in different parts of africa in the middle east
that said they could
so they can launch counter-terrorism strikes
with actual personnel
so remember that's their kind of hit that we did on a sound in london i was
very much in favor of that
now just as we were targeted in line
but we had guys on the ground we knew we were getting
and we got back dot
there's another wrong with that there's a lot right with that so that's the
right way to approach it
and i'm glad they're working on that
now they also mention the article or by the way
i mean we're not going to drill strikes in places like turkey or ron let's keep
it real y
mister he's an ally would get really really mad if you weiland airspace and
they're saying every and sailors army in nato
iran is
the opposite will we do a drone strike there where my sorrow war
so in other words
we do these kind of strikes i'm countries they can't really protect
themselves
so fearsome all your yemeni don't have a lot of power we're gonna bulldozed
here comes this survey sap
looked it looks like there's a lot of consideration that goes into this 'cause
you got special command you've got
though u_s_ central command you at the c_i_a_ is working on this
and it's all being organized by the
the counterterrorism center
than other was out
give the information the counter-terrorism center but led by
brennan
uh... analyzes the information given in the next ultimate decision
oftentimes of it goes up to the president himself
if you're outside of pakistan inside pakistan about the cause
off the fate now little loose but
moakley true
son aloni breakdown the problems here
so washington post says that timeline suggests referring to a time on the
spoke to administration officials about
but the united states is reached
the main point of what was once known as the global war on terrorism
carrying was that word artist applying i'd ever see measures after the tax
of september eleventh two thousand one
on off pictures of the national security apparatus
the rosters expanding contract with the pace control strikes
but never
go to zero
so in other words welcome to permanent what we have always been at war
you look at reading a book somewhere
and so now if they say that we've reached the midpoint at best
and that went on
so they say their way to go for at least another ten years
on this global war on terror using
sometimes special forces that is a better way to go
sometimes draw strikes
perhaps sometimes more
but what's interesting is that the killers never ends and a disposition
matrix is never shut down
remains open for aber
disposing in disposing disposing of people
weather is still your capture
washington post continues now less visible as the extent to which dole bomb
a
this institutionalized
the highly classified practice of targeted
kelly transforming ad-hoc elements into a counter-terrorism infrastructure
capable of sustaining
this seemingly
permanent
now that's really important because
here yes
would never got to stop the war in terms big institutionalize it
an eight macon crate point about how things
used to be
they said before the attacks of september eleventh of two thousand one
the united states rick quarreled at the idea of targeted
nobody seems to remember that because we were now in such a war machine
that we think layoffs of core
also part that you would think about that later of the socialist
we calloway by all the setup
back before two thousand one
if target killing scene
incredibly
controversy over some of the u
had to put a tremendous amount for the day it would be good wife is it was an
assassination
and the united states of america was i supposed to do is ask the nation's
i think there was no common place in fact
is that he would oppose explains quote
charting killing is now so lutein
the bill obama administration
has spent much of the pass your codifying
and streamlining the process these that's the state
we're streamlining
eric jones alternatives
and sometimes loaded rose rex
non-party retailers
as we get to it a little bit
now they say for an administration
that is the first embrace started killing a wide-scale
officials seem confident did devise an approach
that is so bureaucratically legally and morally sound
that future administrations
will follow suit
well that's exactly what i'm afraid
you've built this killing machine
you've called it the
disposition matrix
and they usse dot worried
because future administrations will do likewise no-no that's what i'm worried
about
sewed now they say internal doubts about the fact of the salute your own campaign
are almost
non-existent
and that's really important because unconditional return
sometimes you get the right track before so i'll tell you the wrong guy
you know we've killed on force was so many different civilians
but it has a secondary promises that you're killing people
but it causes more people to one-up flight against you
and so inside the white house it appears based on this washington post story of
people
within the administration
that it kinda lost sight of
hey what's our long-term objective here
we keep adding people who has week you've taken them off the list by
telling them we're capturing them
and we had more people will list
analysts never ads
that's because it turns out bistro strikes
might be counterproductive
because every time you kill someone
there is a retired family who wants to kill you
and then you have to put them on the list
now paul pillars of former deputy director
of the c_i_a_'s counterterrorism center
so he would know that you're too about this and he says
we institutionalized certain things
including targeted killing
it does cross the threshold
that makes it harder
to cross about
op all parts of our not cross in this back
this war is never gonna and the matrix is never going to be retired
that list isn't
never get a fish
where they keep by killing and killing killing until more people like yelling
kill us
and we'll look at that defense contractors at work
for the rest of time
popular continues
we have to pay particular attention
maybe more that we collectively have so far
to the longer-term pros and cons to the methods
we use
now unfortunately
that is not what we do as we just told you the administration
i think base on the reporting here
has lost rack they just one of the short term was on the list and we have to
eliminate
new lost track of the law up
watergate bank
when uh... panetta our defense secretary went to go talk discount apart in
pakistan
that general awsome he said look
you've now
worked
hundreds of drone strikes
any of the top twenty list
that doesn't compute
have endured iran fear top twenty
and the answer is of course they have but you know what
may have added more
in fact he kya listen pakistan has slipped
they say to fewer than ten
uh... but be used to be over two dozen
but he still has a lot out they went through to one in the
sale will where we're at a lower number but
in yemen they say the number of of milta subtilis is range from ten to fifteen
but it also has a run-up it's like a former senior u_s_ counter-terrorism
official says quote
isn't a person currently number four
as good as the number four seven years ago
probably not
but it doesn't mean he's not dangerous
say how they would say out of the number two guy talk at all we have a number
three we had a number for him
is saying well the number format we're down to i was a photocopy of a photo of
a photograph b_
here's the number forty eight but we killed so many people he's a number for
but we can run out of people
we gotta keep those draws com
that is not the right way to do the counter-terrorism obviously
c_i_a_ d uh... director david age for trips is a really disturbing part
korean lao i watch the process
is pushing
for an expansion of the agency's fleet
of or interrupts
now why is that it's everywhere you have hurt
the c_i_a_ is the central intelligence agency that job
is supposed to collect intelligence not that kill people not to do drawn
strength of the military
apparently
not anymore
the proposal which would need white house approval
reflects the agency's transformation into a paramilitary force
and makes clear that it does not intend to dismantle a strong program
and return to a spree september eleventh focus
on gathering intelligence
so now the c_i_a_'s a paramilitary group
and they are never going to go back they've got their own drones the
military has their own drones
they're flying everywhere
everybody's got a less
they're checking it twice in killing it twice
now he comes with a really disturbing part
which is sometimes we don't even know who were killing i've reported this to
you in the past because of articles
quarry administration officials
but here it is again if you were clear
in this particular article
the review process is compressed but not skeptical in the c_i_a_
j site is a call it has compelling intelligence
and a narrow window in which the strike official said so that's part one which
is
hey look were really terrible with this stuff
wind up a nice bureaucratic machine
except sometimes lead in a hurry
in which case
uh... literally chertoff all the boxes
this kind of quicker
all right now here comes the second part
their approach also applies to the development of criteria
for signatures trucks
which allow the c_i_a_ and j sock
to hit targets
based on patterns of activity
paglia vehicle with his explosives for example
even when the identities of those who would be killed
is on clear
now oftentimes it's not explosives
is simply gods
and i got news for you
there's a lot of guns in the air
lots of guns and bags and you know there's lots of guns the united states
of america
if i give incomes and number two
in guns per capita
were double all in
b_t_u_ intro strikes based on gun ownership here in the u_s_
you might kill ninety percent
so these guys are
killing people what it is unclear who it is sometimes in a hurry
and sometimes mesa alot about this on weapons on their as i've told you many
times that's why we have so many weddings as they bring does the weddings
to celebrate
by flying into they get there
big mistake
you decide your whole wedding wiped out by a drone
as we didn't know were bombing
but we just had to use that
trial that we got a hold this position matrix
event as a way to dispose of your wedding
or your family members well that's a sad day for you does arwen war machine
is permanent
and that has to keep on hum
this is sick man this is not what america was supposed to be
and she i wonder why were not like in muslim countries where we do these kind
of bomb
why did they hate us i can't quite figure it out
and by the wayside is present on wild mitt romney says probably can't wait
here interest in many ways mark
uh... activated your member of the trolley
is really a fair to you
at that debate mit romney said
killing what name cell
but we can't kill our way out of this mess
welcome what's going on weekend so he's going to do that
disposition matrix write an easy to get rid of the
the the drone program right
not so much
he also said
it's widely reported that jobs are being used and don't strike should i support
that entirely
and feel the president was right to up the usage of that technology
fantastic no matter who's in charge a republican or democrat run the robot
mark
the matrix keeps on going
and we keep on killing and we keep our wondering
i wonder why they don't like it
