US DRONE TERRORISM

RT: Would it be possible if so called rogue states got their hands on such technology?

MM: Well, they are already in the hands of rogue states. According to US media the country is the primary purveyor of drone terrorism on the planet right now. The President of the US has a private army. That private army is called the CIA and they participate and conduct kidnappings, tortures and assassinations – all of this, which is totally illegal in terms of international law.

RT: Turning to Pakistan, Washington has not confirmed the drones involved in that attack are theirs. Which other powers could operate such aircraft in that region?

MM: Given the circumstances it’s unlikely. The US government and the CIA are likely to be lying. We have concrete evidence that the US and Yemeni governments were lying with respect to drone attacks in Yemen – I mean the concrete cable evidence from Wikileaks, where Yemen was claiming they were killing civilians in their own country and it was actually the US drone attacks.

White House admits it can't kill Americans with drones in US

 

THEATRE, GRANDSTANDING, NEXT POTUS?

 

“It has come to my attention that you have now asked an additional question: ‘Does the President have the authority to use a weaponized drone to kill an American not engaged in combat on American soil?’

 

The answer to that question is no,” wrote the attorney general.

 

.. The official response came one day after Sen. Paul stood up on the floor of the Capital Building in Washington and said he would filibuster the nomination hearing for US President Barack Obama’s choice for the next CIA director, John Brennan, until he was presented with answers about the administration’s past and planned use of drones both overseas and domestically.

.. Days earlier, Holder told the senator, “It is possible, I suppose, to imagine an extraordinary circumstance in which it would be necessary and appropriate under the Constitution and applicable laws of the United States for the President to authorize the military to use lethal force within the territory of the United States.” Into the evening and even the Thursday morning, Sen. Paul continued with his presentation, occasionally being joined by members of both sides of the aisle to demand answers about the drone program.  RUSSIA TODAY<Click
