I told him to avoid YLS and HLS because they have Resident War Criminals on their Faculties—Killer Koh at Yale Law School and Jack Goldsmith at Harvard Law School. Why would you want to study The Law with a Law Faculty that voted to hire a War Criminal?
I certainly would not send my son there. When Disgraced and Fired NeoCon Dean Hurricane Heidi Hurd tried to hire a War Criminal here, I went BALLISTIC with the Faculty. This guy is now perverting some other Law Faculty where he is training his law students
to become War Criminals. NeoCon Dean Hurricane Heidi Hurd also tried to hire a former Covert CIA Agent who used to work in the Middle East—undoubtedly murdering Muslims/Arabs of Color: war crimes. Once again, I went Ballistic with the Faculty. good riddance
to her too! So it goes at the Illinois Mafia School of Law. And now here comes Yale Law Mafia War Criminal Killer Koh just on time to get Yale Law Mafia War Criminal Killary elected President at the Illinois Mafia Law School on October 28 at the invite

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#606060">There were 45 US strikes reported last month in Afghanistan, killing at least 60 people.<br>
<br>
The casualty figure comes from just 10 of these strikes. The other 35 were reported by the US military which does not provide casualty figures.<br>
<br>
In June the White House gave the Pentagon more freedom to strike the Taliban in support of Afghan ground forces who are struggling to hold off the insurgents in some provinces.<br>
<br>
The US conducted 25 strikes in Helmand last month, helping Afghan forces beat back the Taliban who were encircling the provincial capital. The US also conducted 10 strikes in Kunduz, again supporting government troops fighting the Taliban.<br>
<br>
The June rule change appears to have had a direct impact on the frequency of strikes. US Air Force data for July, released in mid-August, shows the US fired 130 missiles and bombs, up from 94 reported in June.<br>
