Jeremy Scahill on Drones and Terror Tuesday




FROM A DEMOCRACY NOW INTERVIEW WITH JEREMY SCAHILL:

We now have a process in the chambers of power in Washington where a small group of men and women meet on Tuesdays—and they call it Terror Tuesdays—to decide who’s going to live and die around the world.

There are at least three separate kill lists that are being run in the U.S. government. The CIA has a kill list. JSOC has a kill list. And then the National Security Council has a working group that also keeps its own list of high-value targets.

This administration is normalizing the process of assassination as a central component of U.S. policy for many generations to come.

ALSO:
Farea al-Muslimi (his village was drone bombed in Yemen, and he testified in front of the US Senate committee about this):

Reporters were asking him, "What do you think of Boston?" And he said, "The difference between you and me is that I condemn both of them. I condemn both of them."
