US “Dirty” Wars, Targeted Killing & Secret Operations Supercede Military Occupations – But Are Still Illegitimate


By War Criminals Watch - Posted on 29 May 2014

 Join us at the Left Forum, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, 524 W. 59th St, New York City on Sunday, June 1, 10:00 - 11:50 am to hear this panel on US dirty wars, especially drone warfare. It not only will provide historical background and context to the issues facing us and the world today, it is action-oriented, grappling with how to challenge how people think. Come, participate and help plan mass action to stop the crimes of your government. Share this with your friends, family, and sister and brother workers.

More than twelve years into the “war on terror,” the CIA and Pentagon war planners are increasing emphasis on special operations and targeting killing, with open discussion of targeting US citizens. International law has gone by the wayside, as have constitutional protections of citizens.

Medea Benjamin, CODEPINK
Ed Kinane, Upstate Coalition To Ground the Drones
Ben Kuebrich, Syracuse Students Against Drones
Nick Mottern, kNOwdrones.org
Paki Wieland, peace activist
Moderator: Debra Sweet, World Can’t Wait

Session 6 will be held in Room L2.85.
