Oklahoma City: Col. Lawrence Wilkerson Warns Obama's Drone War Violates International Law, Creating More Enemies

Speaking on Democracy Now!, former aide to former Secretary of State Colin Powell -- warns against the the expanding U.S. drone war and President Obama's nomination of one of its key architects, John Brennan, to head the Central Intelligence Agency.

COL. LAWRENCE WILKERSON: Let me describe to you, what I perceive to be the bubble around President Obama right now and the man he has nominated to be CIA director, John Brennan. What’s happening with drone strikes around the world right now is, in my opinion, as bad a development as many of the things we now condemn so readily, with 20/20 hindsight, in the George W. Bush administration. We are creating more enemies than we’re killing. We are doing things that violate international law. We are even killing American citizens without due process and have an attorney general who has said that due process does not necessarily include the legal process."
