File under: How to Make Obama INCREDIBLY popular


Danger Room - U.N. Drone Investigator: If Facts Lead to U.S. War Crimes, So Be It

Ben Emmerson wants to be clear: He’s not out to ban flying killer robots used by the CIA or the U.S. military. But the 49-year-old British lawyer is about to become the bane of the drones’ existence, thanks to the United Nations inquiry he launched last week into their deadly operations.

Emmerson, the United Nations’ special rapporteur for human rights and counterterrorism, will spend the next five months doing something the Obama administration has thoroughly resisted: unearthing the dirty secrets of a global counterterrorism campaign that largely relies on rapidly proliferating drone technology.Announced on Thursday in London, it’s the first international inquiry into the drone program, and one that carries the imprimatur of the world body. By the next session of the United Nations in the fall, Emmerson hopes to provide the General Assembly with an report on 25 drone strikes in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia and Palestine where civilian deaths are credibly alleged.
That carries the possibility of a reckoning with the human damage left by drones, the first such witnessing by the international community. Accountability, Emmerson tells Danger Room in a Monday phone interview, “is the central purpose of the report.” He’s not shying away from the possibility of digging up evidence of “war crimes,” should the facts point in that direction. But despite the Obama administration’s secrecy about the drone strikes to date, he’s optimistic that the world’s foremost users of lethal drone tech will cooperate with him.
With Obama as president, and his SOLE protective action being this program, you can bet everyone from Inhofe, Cruz, McCain, Rubio and Cantor will be UNIFIED in their defense of Mr. Obama, whose approval ratings will SOAR.
Perhaps the UN would have approved a declaraltion of war in 2001, WHICH COULD NOT HAVE ENDED since there is no one to sign a surrender or a peace agreement. That way the 10 - 100 times as many casualties ON THE OTHER SIDE would be ‘legal’
Tell the UN to pay it’s parking fines and send them on their way.
