Why the CIA? Isn't the military in control of drone usage?
Yes, and no. The military flys and maintains them, anx supplies tbe armament. Specific targets for a strike package could be dictated by anyone CIA is right up there. The techs that fly the drones just drop the rain where they are told to. Why this ordinance is being dropped there is over their pay grade. Most drone techs are only E4 to maybe E6. Nit exactly a rank that wants to scrutinize their orders.
We had a pretty good size group, I’m not sure how many we had I would guess the numbers were well north of fifty which including Cindy Sheehan who just finished her cross country bicycling tour.
There were five others arrested besides Cindy Sheehan which included Janice Sevre_Duszynska a Woman Catholic Priest from Lexington, KY., I have seen her at a number of events getting arrested over the years for human rights issues, maybe more priests should follow her example, the others were Joy First, Mt. Horeb, WI; Malachy Kilbride, Arlington, VA; Max Obuszewski, Baltimore, MD; Phil Runkel, Milwaukee, WI.
They were arrested while attemping to deliver a letter we all signed asking John Brennan for a meeting in regards to the CIA drone policy.
There seemed to be a fair amount of support from cars passing by although there were one or two that did not seem to be supportive of what we were doing.
This protest was not one of our regularly schedule drone protests at CIA Headquarters which are held the second Saturday of the month from 10 to 11:30 am, our next schedule drone protest at the main gate of CIA headquarters is July 13th which will be our 9th straight month so please join us then.
My husband and I were just discussing her the other day, wondering where she had got to. If you want proof that the press sits in Obama's pocket, she is a prime example of that. When she was protesting against Bush she got media attention all the time, but when it was Obama she was protesting against she stopped appearing on the evening news. Funny how that worked.
She was a useful political tool in 2008 whom got thrown under the bus in 2009-10 for not shutting up when Obama decided Bush\Cheney foreign policy wasn't so bad after all.
Correct!
