COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN PRESS TV
US drone strikes
double in Somalia, triple in Yemen under Trump admin.: Report
I always like to imagine the buzz-cut thugs who work for CIA
on its extrajudicial killing system sitting at their computer screens in secure
basements somewhere.
They play computer games with real human lives, much
resembling a scene from a science fiction film.
I wonder, when they get "a kill," do they pump
their arms and shout like Americans at a sports event do when their team scores,
maybe then going out for a hamburger and a Coke?
And I wonder, do these willing-helper killers work on
Christmas?
Sick beyond words.
It's almost unbelievable that America, with all its
pretentious claims about rights, has gone full-time into the extrajudicial
killing business.
What they are doing is absolutely no different from what the
old much-hated Argentine Junta used to do, make people disappear, and by the
thousands.
Only America is doing it on an industrial scale.
This a violation of all principles of justice and all human
ethics.

I agree. Internal use of drone-killing on Americans
themselves is coming one day. Things you use regularly gradually are taken for
granted and accepted as ordinary, no matter how bizarre they seemed once.
America’s ruling elites are gradually dropping all
pretensions to ethics or morality.
