Bombs Away: Weaponized Drones Flying High

Where is the outrage?

Up until about a year ago, the anti-war movement was on fire over US Drone attacks, making and distributing films, following families of those killed and engaging in passionate discussions of international law and hounding the President and Congress. Sure, there are new wars to consider, but the old wars continue along with the old violations. Weaponized drones enacting ‘targeted killing’ remain in the vanguard. It is time for a resurgence in the anti-drone movement, and more consideration of the atrocities that result from so called ‘targeted assassination’ by the United Nations and International Human Rights NGOs, not to mention the mainstream press coverage.
