CIA drones target rescue workers, mourners
State sponsored terrorist organisation target rescue workers, mourners with Drone attacks
In the murky world of wars, covert operations and so called intelligence agencies, it can be hard to work out at times what are the true motives behind any particular policy, campaign or action. In the case of Afghanistan and Pakistan it has been long stated that the aim of the US govt is to disrupt Pakistan and cause so much civil strife so as to lead to the breakup of the Pakistani state. And as part of the ensuing chaos, the aim would be to launch an operation to seize the Pakistan nuclear weapons so as to deny the only Muslim power of having these happens. This apparently would make the world safe. To do this the US needs to start a civil war and the northern provinces have been the target of multipe operations by the Pakistani army and also of Drone attacks by the CIA.
The official lie on the Drone attacks is that they are going after terrorists and killing them. However even the US govt admits that only about 10 or 20 Al-Qaeda members have been killed and yet is is widely known that at least 2,000 civilians have been killed. We ought to remember that 4,000 died in Northern Ireland over 30 years and we thought that was bad.
However, once in a while the true light shines through and in this report, we see that the real aim is to cause so much hate and chaos simply by attacking innocent people that the real aim is to create civil war
It is fascinating the way we get the endless propaganda about terrorism and bad guys from the US imperalist war machine. And it is they who are the terrorists except they carry it out on a massive industrial scale.
Taking from quotes from the report, we have:
A report by the London-based Bureau of Investigative Journalism (BIJ) has found that the US Central Intelligence Agency deliberately attacked rescue workers and funeral processions in follow-up strikes after drone missile attacks on insurgents in Pakistans tribal areas. The findings were made public on the groups web site and published by the Sunday Times of London.
According to the organization, which includes British and Pakistani journalists, at least 50 civilians were killed in follow-up strikes while they were attempting to help victims of an initial CIA drone attack. Dozens more were killed by missile strikes against the funerals of victims of drone attacks.
Overall, the group found that since Obama took office three years ago, between 282 and 535 civilians have been credibly reported as killed, including more than 60 children. Pakistani officials and humanitarian aid workers have reported much higher figures for the death toll in Pakistans tribal areas, as many as several thousand.
Isn't that amazing 60 kids dead just like that. Presumably the spin is that they were terrorists or perhaps helping terrorists.
There is more. These bastards are committing war crimes.
March 17, 2011: The day after Pakistan released CIA contractor Raymond Davis, who had been jailed for two months for murdering two Pakistani men in Lahore, a CIA drone missile attack killed 42 people in North Waziristan, striking what a Pakistani military officer said was a tribal meeting to discuss a land ownership dispute, not a Taliban gathering.
Experts on international law have characterized these follow-up drone missile strikes as war crimes. Clive Stafford Smith, who has fought for the release of many innocent men held in Guantanamo Bay, told BIJ the drone strikes are like attacking the Red Cross on the battlefield. Its not legitimate to attack anyone who is not a combatant. Christof Heyns, the United Nations special rapporteur on extrajudicial executions, told the group: Allegations of repeat strikes coming back after half an hour when medical personnel are on the ground are very worrying. To target civilians would be crimes of war.
If that does sound like revenge for the capture of Raymond Davis which was widely reported at the time, then I don't know what is.
