n_b_c_ news
has this guy working for the named michael isikoff and he has obtained a
sixteen page
justice department memo
on the drone program from the white house
and it's called the white paper
congress had a esi administration
for legal documentation
on the the legality of the drone strikes that they're doing in pakistan in yemen
and other places
and
the white house didn't respond
they didn't after twelve requests from congress the white house and yet this
all
but now
now the memo has been released
and
it is
joining the unconstitutional
and by the way
the reason why it took congress saying twelve times hey we want to see the memo
says
why you're drawn structure legal
the reason why the administration didn't do anything
if they didn't have anything
they were doing it and just assuming that it was okay for them to do it
it was a frost nixon ten
they say no because we do it it's legal
hello
where the president is the administration whatever we do is legal
by definition
arm
the the memo
reveals the deal bomb a mystery she believes that high-level administration
officials
not just the president but all high-level administration officials
may order the killing
of what they call senior operational leaders
of al qaeda oren associated force
even without evidence
so all they happened it was a hank
uh... i've got a gut feeling that these guys are going it's acting u_s_
and we're learning our doesn't have to be alarming to me anybody anyone it's in
the administration at the high-level official
yet kill that person
you're allowed to do it or they think you're allowed to do it
arm
so
they they said quote this is in the memo all lawful killing in self defense is
not an assassination
noticed how this is directly out of were well man
because they always say all of it it was on the lines of all with legal holders
something that's completely legal
there was any
initial break the law and you'll say his legal as you're doing it
so then it's like there's no laws in the first place
i mean it's absolutely stunning
uh... the paper states that the u_s_ would be able to kill u_s_ citizen
overseas
went quote been informed high-level official
of the u_s_ government determines
the target is an imminent threat
uh... one capture would be infeasible and when the operation is conducted
consistent with a applica ble
law of war principles
so again for well you know we'll talk
they say yeah are we get to kill whoever we want as long as it's conducted
consistent
applica below of war principles
now the end of that is a whole bunch of mumbo jumbo
because you're simply not allowed to give whoever you want
that's not all arts
that that's the whole idea of the constitution is as you can just kill
whoever you want
bob
so
look uh... it to give you some concrete examples
take the case of anwar all a locking
he is a u_s_ citizen that was suspected of being al-qaeda member
and
the just kill them with a drone strike
no trial whatsoever
now less people care about anwar allah la ke
uh... because
it's pretty clear that he was a member of alkali disorders like whatever
don't even care that he's a u_s_ citizen right
but then two weeks later
in a completely different drone strike
they killed anwar all our keys sixteen-year-old son
bob dole dot com allah la ke again an american citizen
and
when the media *** robert gibbs why they did it and why they think that's a legal
uh... did said quote
he needed a more responsible father
also that several of laws working now
so if by somebody here related to does something
that might make them a suspected terrorist
then not only can the government killed and even though they're u_s_'s susan
without a trial they can also kill you
you're guilty by association
and targeted for ***
our got no words meant
i've got no words witnesses
ike you've heard me say two billion times i'll keep saying it because it's
true
this is directly out of orwell
so uh... they caught if i did
some of these illegal practices
so you guys know what a signature strike is this is where get super interesting
a signature strike is the targeting
well groups of men who quote bear characteristics associated with
terrorism ste
associate with terrorism excuse me
but whose identities are known
so colours panic i would like to harass
kill many white george on track
that's what a signature strikers and they do something else known as a double
tap
and this is where
you draw a strike an area once you circle around and then when people come
in digging around through the rubble looking for survivors and injured people
you go back and you do another drawn trike
and you kill the good samaritan zarella pin
and united states of america wonders why some people have it
issue with us
this is unbelievable
so by jay carney arrow after the release of this report
jay carney came out
and she was forced to comment
on the legality of this
listen what this guy assessment
the question obviously catholics uh... marriage
uh... adoptive parents classified document fair for some members of
congress
and uh...
understandable questions and i can just say that
vice-president takes
responsibilities very seriously and and and
first and foremost that's his responsibility to protect the united
states
and american citizens
also takes his responsibility and conducting the war against al-qaeda
as authorized by congress
uh... you know it is fully consistent with
our constitution and
of all the applicable laws
here we have a knowledge united states
sometimes we use remotely piloted aircraft to conduct our two strikes
against specific terrorist
in order to prevent attacks
on the united states of the state of american lives
we conduct those strikes because they are necessary to mitigate ongoing actual
threats to stop plots prevent future attacks can again save american lives
the strikes illegal
they are ethical and their wives
u_s_ government takes great care decided to pursue al-qaeda terrorist mature
and to avoid loss of innocence
they are legal
ethical and wise
researchers that stand for university and new york
university uh... a recent study from a couple months ago
true percent on from strikes
two percent
have casualties that ur top militant leaders
two percent
since two thousand four contracts under the bush administration and all of the
joint right on the obama administration
there've been four hundred seventy four
to eight hundred eighty-four civilians that have been killed
including one hundred seventy six
children
one hundred seventy six children
but according to j corny white house spokesperson the drone strikes or legal
ethical
and wise
you're a six audible
imagine that was your kids
imagine that was uh... some americans kits
when we are
take it if to say the government of iran did the drone trikes and then they come
out and say
yes so what we go forward in seventy four to eight hundred eighty-four
civilian suck it up
we kilometer in seventy six children's
is still legal
ethical
and why it's
when we take that if somebody else at that
never mind that is a true is it true it is legal ethical unwise
flopping all it's not
jay carney isn't aricent
he'll buy ministration
isn't aricent
there just as bad it's not worse
than the bush administration on these issues
they're sick
they're disgusting
their pathetic their moral
how do you like me now
