This is related to the Wikileaks we were talking about last week. This is what happens when you do government in secret. You ask how can they get away with it without anybody knowing? They can now get away with whatever they want in secret because nobody in this country cares about what happens to some dirty foreigners. They are too busy watching the real "news" about what some celebrity did yesterday.
: How can it be that almost NOBODY is reporting on this? It is a significant change in the way America is supposed to be conducting war (if this really is a war) and nobody knows about it. Talk about doing government in secret.
: : US assassination drones killed 60 more "suspects" today, and still nobody seems to notice.
: : What would the world think if that US soldier who was guiding those drones put a gun to the head of those 60 suspects and pulled the trigger.
: : Why isn't anybody noticing? Doe no one care about executing possibly innocent people anymore - as long the only "suspects" we kill are foreigners?
: : Don't believe me? Think it's impossible the US could be doing such a thing? Here is a link to the news about it:
