Six Months After Obama Promised to Divulge More on Drones, Here s What We Still Don t Know

Cora Currier, ProPublica: Nearly six months ago, President Obama promised more transparency and tighter policies around targeted killings. In a speech, Obama vowed that the United States would use force against only a "continuing and imminent threat to the American people." How much has changed since the president s speech?

CIA, not Pentagon, to keep running Obama s drone war

Foreign Policy

11/05/13

In May, the White House leaked word that it would start shifting drone operations from the shadows of the CIA to the relative sunlight of the Defense Department in an effort to be more transparent about the controversial targeted killing program. But six months later, the so-called migration of those operations has stalled, and it is now unlikely to happen anytime soon, Foreign Policy has learned...

NSA blowback

The American Conservative
by Philip Giraldi

11/08/13

The Edward Snowden files? revelation that the United States has been tapping the phones of top French, Mexican, Brazilian, and German politicians should not really surprise anyone, but that is not the real story. The 'everyone does it' argument is meant to mitigate the offense, but is wrong on two counts. It is incorrect technically, as no other country has our capabilities. It also fails to take into account the political damage that occurs when a nation initiates large scale espionage operations directed against allied countries, such as France and Germany. The German and French public will rightly assume that Washington will engage in reckless behavior whenever it believes, rightly or wrongly, that its own security is somehow at stake, indicating that the transatlantic relationship only runs in one direction...

[A] Chinese commentator wrote that if the United States cannot be a responsible member of the world system, perhaps the world should become 'de-Americanized', and separate itself from the rogue state that is the reigning military power but is losing credibility in other domains. ... In the past, the U.S. has sometimes been described sardonically as a 'one-party state': the business party, with two factions called Democrats and Republicans. That is no longer true. The U.S. is still a one-party state: the business party. But it only has one faction: moderate Republicans, now called New Democrats...

When you start to look at the way U.S. drone killings are reported, as I did with the September 5 drone killing in Pakistan, you notice that the U.S. government has a modus operandi for pulling the wool over our eyes, and then making us all complicit in the process.
