United Nations Officials Criticize U.S. Drone Wars in New Reports

Pakistan has confirmed to a United Nations official that at least 400 civilians have been killed by drone strikes in the past decade, plus an additional 200 victims deemed "probable non-combatants." Ben Emmerson, U.N. special rapporteur on human rights and counterterrorism, said Pakistani officials acknowledged the number is likely an underestimate. Emmerson called on the United States to release data on civilians killed by drones, saying the CIA’s role in the drone wars in Yemen and Pakistan has "created an almost insurmountable obstacle to transparency." His report closely followed another one by Christof Heyns, the United Nations special rapporteur on extrajudicial executions, who said the use of drones undermines international security.

U.S & NATO: A Policy of Killing Innocent People to Spread Democracy! - Graphic Content

2012-05-08T17:51:34.154Z

Two pieces of big news for our small organization:

1. TPF President Mark Manley is off to Chicago later this month to represent us at the anti-NATO counter-summit being held there; and

2. TPF shifts its focus to the increasingly indiscriminate use by the U.S. of its remote-controlled aerial drones; so the theme for the next peace vigil in Tulsa will be "Ground the Drones! UAVs kill civilians!!"

Of a piece with this indiscriminate drone warfare that kills civilians with every strike (making their use a war crime), is the U.S. Navy's targetting of civilians in coastal cities with their cruise missiles, as illustrated graphically in this clip.

(Thank you, Mark, for finding this power human interest story, the kind that we never see on the mainstream media in this country.)
