This morning, the New York Times has a very lengthy and detailed article about President Obama’s counter-Terrorism policies based on interviews with “three dozen of his current and former advisers.” I’m writing separately about the numerous revelations contained in that article, but want specifically to highlight this one vital passage about how the Obama administration determines who is a “militant.” The article explains that Obama’s rhetorical emphasis on avoiding civilian deaths “did not significantly change” the drone program, because Obama himself simply expanded the definition of a “militant” to ensure that it includes virtually everyone killed by his drone strikes. Just read this remarkable passage:
Mr. Obama embraced a disputed method for counting civilian casualties that did little to box him in. It in effect counts all military-age males in a strike zone as combatants, according to several administration officials, unless there is explicit intelligence posthumously proving them innocent.
Seriously, impeach Barack Obama.
I was at my grandparents house yesterday and CNN was on in the background. I remember seeing the bottom line talking about two militants being taken down, and remembering what I read from somebody talking about how we use dehumanizing language so we forget that those are people being killed. Coupled with this, it really is sad.
I’m so glad I have netflix instead of TV. News is depressing.
