[Peace-discuss] For the Anti-Drone Campaigners - Today's Headlines: Taliban Gun Down Girl Who Spoke Up for Rights

[Ed Kinane]

dear roger heilbig,
   the gunning down of that young woman was heinous, cowardly, and very 
damaging not only to women, but to prospects for peace in that bloody 
region.
   likewise -- on a much larger scale -- the terroristic use of weaponized 
drones in pakistan and elsewhere.  clearly those reaper drone killings, 
maimings and home demolitions are the taliban's best recruiting device.
   for a very recent, well-documented and rigorous analysis, read the 
stanford law  and nyu law schools' report, "living under drones."  you can 
download it at www.livingunderdrones/report/.

You're getting silly, Roger: there's no reason opposing Obama's wholesale 
crimes supports the retail crimes of others. They're wrong, too.
