Since 2004, up to 884 innocent civilians, including at least 176 children, have died from US drone strikes in the North Waziristan region of Pakistan. A new report from the Stanford and New York University law schools finds drone use has caused widespread post-traumatic stress disorder and an overall breakdown of functional society in North Waziristan. In addition, the report finds the use of a “double tap” procedure, in which a drone strikes once and strikes again not long after, has led to deaths of rescuers and medical professionals. Many interviewees told the researchers they didn’t know what America was before drones. Now what they know of America is drones, death and terror.

On September 11, four Americans, including the US ambassador, were killed in an attack on the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya. The following day, the BBC‘s Lunchtime News reported that the killings were part of ‘disturbances’ which were ‘linked to an anti-Islamic video’ (BBC News, September 12, 2012). The BBC‘s News at Six explained that the US ambassador was killed ‘in a protest’. This was mild language indeed given that the consulate had been attacked with assault rifles, hand grenades, rocket-propelled grenades and mortars. (According to the New York Times, two US security guards were killed by mortar fire).

[Amazing: BBC News still continues to describe the video as “amateur” at every opportunity, as if somehow that diminishes its importance in the propaganda war being waged by the Empire. But more importantly, if the facts uncovered by Raimondo are accurate, then whether the movie was ‘crudely made’ or not (and surely this was deliberate), it was bankrolled with a lot of cash by Media in Christ, an outfit run by one Joseph Nasrallah Abdelmasih, see the Daily Beast article on Media in Christ for more details.
