White House officials are rejecting calls by top Congressional leaders for details about the ongoing drone assassination programs around the world, insisting that calls for oversight “don’t hold water.”
A number of Congressmen and former administration and military officials are complaining that the program is being conduct with virtually no oversight and that the killings have a huge impact on foreign affairs.
The Obama Administration has killed thousands of “suspects,” mostly in Pakistan, since taking over in 2009. The program, conducted by both the CIA and the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) is only occasionally even publicly acknowledged by officials, and details related to massive civilian casualties are never publicly commented on.
The administration has classified all the details of the program, though it insists it does provide certain details to “appropriate” Congressmen who are members of certain key committees. A number of officials have said they believe the level of secrecy is excessive and designed to avoid scrutiny.
The Department of Defense reported today, December 29, on a US Navy soldier killed in Bahrain on July 18, 2011.
LIGHT — THE LIFE BLOOD OF AN HONEST MAN
An honest man above all things wants full exposure to all his actions so that his good example will instill honest in others.
Whereas, a dishonest man “loves darkness more then light because his deeds are greedy and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.”
Secrecy, darkness, this is the root cause of all corruption in government.
DARKNESS
In illusion of good hiding misery,
a liar’s pretense of good hiding
his intent to be enriched upon
our misery, a mixture of good
and misery of such confusion
that one cannot tell good from
misery.

"One of the doctors found three little girls left in a trash bin. They'd suffered horrific injuries.
"Who are they?" the doctor asked.
Nobody knew.
Where were their parents? Where were they from?
All anyone could say is that there had been a U.S. drone attack. The girls were likely hurt in the strike.
The doctor, who was traveling with House of Charity, took them back with him. They were in grave condition. Two of the girls died, but the littlest one had a chance of making it if she were treated right away.
She was only a year old, Effendi guessed, but small for her age. She was skinny. Dirty. Very bloody. She had fresh burns all over her face, her scalp and on her arms.

Rich man’s democracy — Cesspool of corruption
Gentlemen be reasonable, surely the more wealth a man has — all the more does he feel deserving and desiring of more wealth. So, how can it be anything put pure corruption to allow the 51% most educated and wealthy to have a monopoly over democracy?
Everytime I read about America's latest atrocities, I comfort myself by reciting the following: Those who live by the sword will die by the sword.
It brings comfort to know that, one day, the U.S. will pay a terrible price for its barbarity!

I put up 3 comments this morning and all of them had to be ‘moderated’.
Jason, this site is supposed to be anti-war and there is no one, but no one who is more anti-war than me.
Why are you doing this?
[moderator’s note: I don’t think Jason is involved in moderation. Without knowing which comments are involved, I don’t know why yours would have been caught in our moderation filters. In some cases it has nothing to do with the content — it could be that someone spammed us from a related domain or IP in the past, etc. That’s about all I really know — I don’t control the moderation filters, really, I just rescue comments from them that shouldn’t have been moderated – TLK]
Oh, but of course. The White House don't need no stinkin' oversight. They're doing just fine on their own.
