The Drone Papers (VIDEO)

There's a number of fascinating things about this new investigative report from the Intercept, "THE ASSASSINATION COMPLEX."

A lot of innocent people are being killed, for one thing, "Nearly nine out of 10 people who died in airstrikes were not the Americans' direct targets..."

The most interesting thing, though, is that had the CIA/Pentagon drone program advanced this far during the early days of the George W. Bush administration, we'd be hearing about "Nazi" targeted killings until the cows come home, and the mainstream collectivist media would be reporting cries for war crimes tribunals non-stop. But since it's Obama's drone program, crickets. I mean, Glenn Greenwald, Jeremy Scahill, et al., are anti-Americans who like nothing more than to put American lives are risk to get their "scoops." And honestly, while I don't love the loss of innocents as collateral damage in the War on Terror, I have no problem taking out bloodthirsty jihadis, of which there's a never-ending supply. Greenwald, et al., see most of the terrorists as victims of America's imperial aggression.

So you can see why the whole thing's pretty amazing. See the full report, "The Drone Papers."
