And this Guy Got a Nobel Peace Prize?
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that U.S. drone policy is insane.Notwithstanding some domestic accomplishments, such as his half assed healthcare reform, Obama's true legacy will be his immoral and counterproductive drone war.
But one story told by the main drone whistleblowing reporter – Jeremy Scahill – shows just how insane it really is.
Specifically, Scahill explained today that Americans target TALL people in Afghanistan and other countries … assuming that tall men must be Arabs or “foreign fighters.”
In one instance, the U.S. targeted for drone assassination a man who they thought was unusually tall. In reality, he was a normal-size man … who happened to be surrounded by children.
Obama's embrace of the contemptible and disasterous historical legacy of the Dulles brothers is complete.
