CIA chiefs face arrest over horrific evidence of bloody 'video-game' sorties by drone pilots
The Daily Mail ^ | 10/21/2012 | David Rose

The Mail on Sunday today reveals shocking new evidence of the full horrific impact of US drone attacks in Pakistan.

A damning dossier assembled from exhaustive research into the strikes’ targets sets out in heartbreaking detail the deaths of teachers, students and Pakistani policemen. It also describes how bereaved relatives are forced to gather their loved ones’ dismembered body parts in the aftermath of strikes.

The dossier has been assembled by human rights lawyer Shahzad Akbar, who works for Pakistan’s Foundation for Fundamental Rights and the British human rights charity Reprieve.

Filed in two separate court cases, it is set to trigger a formal murder investigation by police into the roles of two US officials said to have ordered the strikes. They are Jonathan Banks, former head of the Central Intelligence Agency’s Islamabad station, and John A. Rizzo, the CIA’s former chief lawyer. Mr Akbar and his staff have already gathered further testimony which has yet to be filed....

In the first case, which has already been heard by a court in Islamabad, judgment is expected imminently. If the judge grants Mr Akbar’s petition, an international arrest warrant will be issued via Interpol against the two Americans.

Ah but the clintoon administration showed US how to deal with this eventuality, just give the same weapons technology to our enemies and neither will use it. Right? ... RIGHT?

And little barry bastard commie is providing the second phase of this surrender, by importing Islam into the US Government and funding the terrorists orgs of same world-wide.

Free-fire zones with drones. Coming to an American city near you.

Wars run by the CIA???? Lousy hit ratio and accountable to no one, just how our dictator likes it.

Time to shut this one down.

Too bad those drones don’t drop tactical nukes.

I was just wondering if this guy Shahzad Akbar was related to Allah Akbar, they both have the same last name.

I guess we could go back to the old days of carpet bombing those who attack us if they so insist.

On the other hand, they could stop attacking and would then not be attacked.

Their choice.

This is the problem with video game warfare. Real people getting killed is not a game.

Actually, I think they might be able to, and here in our own country. I recall a big stink that was buried about 18 months ago about another executive order that was an “agreement” that would allow them to. I don’t know what happened to it though.

Wasn’t Obama bragging about ordering drone strikes? Aren’t the leftie media applauding him for ordering drone strikes? Why don’t the Pakis arrest him?

The left is largely unhappy about the drones.

This would be a great thing for Romney to bring up in the debates Monday night but I'm not sure he would unless he intends to discontinue the use of drones.

The big stink was about Obama giving Interpol immunity from prosecution, or something like that. Interpol cannot arrest anyone (yet).

The EUSSR was created under the radar by using weak institutions that almost no one was paying attention to.

There is going to be a major effort to overthrow our nation using UN structures. I see it, clear as day.

I think either Obama or x42 will be the next Secretary General.
