Anonymous Coward User ID: 18387358 United States 06/22/2012 05:13 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Obama administration has moved to block the release of information relating to its overseas drone assassination program, and will not even acknowledge that it exists, despite countless public references to the program and the proven existence of an official “kill list”. Quoting: Nyte In a motion filed just before midnight last night, the federal government asked for FOIA requests regarding drone killings by the ACLU and the New York Times to be dismissed. The administration’s court filing suggested that the public disclosure of such material could potentially harm national security. “Whether or not the CIA has the authority to be, or is in fact, directly involved in targeted lethal operations remains classified,” the court filing noted. “Even to describe the number and details of most of these documents would reveal information that could damage the government’s counterterrorism efforts,” the filing continued. More... [link to www.presstv.ir] Move along... nothing to see here... Why the F are we even asking the shadow government for these numbers. They are going to force Obama to lie for them anyway citing National Security. Just have some investigators go to those countries like a murder investigation. Everyone on this planet has a name, address, and relatives who are witnesses to their deaths. There is one organization that posted an entire list over every single Iraqi citizen who has been killed so far during the US wars there. Names, addresses, occupations, age, incident report, date of murder, otopsy report. This is 2012. All this stuff is documented. Just because the US Gov't controlled Media has a truth embargo doesn't mean this information can't be gathered. I would like to conduct a natione wide poll of all US Military families who lost family members in the US wars since 2002. I heard some estimates that it's well over 67,000. The Pentagon only counts combat deaths...IE men that are on their shif and in their boots while killed. No other deaths are counted. Bomb blasts, sniper fire, mortar fire, kidnapping/execution, fire, plane crash, vehicle crash, suicide, friendly fire, fratricide, sickness, and injuries that later prove to be fatal....ARE ALL NOT COUNTED. |

The article itself refers to a "kill list" = a list of specific targets. * Re-read the first paragraph if the article. Nobody is asking for "kill list". From the article: “The notion that the CIA’s targeted killing programme is still a secret is beyond absurd. Senior officials have discussed it, both on the record and off. They have taken credit for its putative successes, professed it to be legal, and dismissed concerns about civilian casualties,” said Jameel Jaffer, ACLU deputy legal director. “If they can make these claims to the media, they can answer requests under the Freedom of Information Act. The public is entitled to know more about the legal authority the administration is claiming and the way that the administration is using it.” Jaffer added. 7/11 was a part time job!
