USA: Acronym for United States of Assassinations?
By Sherwood Ross
What the United Nations independent investigator on extrajudicial killings would like is for countries that employ surprise drone attacks to first prove they have attempted to capture or incapacitate suspects. The investigator, Philip Alston, issued a 29-page report Wednesday that the New York Times termed "Highly Critical" of such attacks by the U.S. and, says the Associated Press, "called on countries to lay out rules and safeguards for carrying out the strikes." By going after terrorist networks, Alston warned, the U.S. example "could quickly lead to a situation in which dozens of countries carry out 'competing drone attacks' outside their borders against people 'labeled as terrorists by one group or another,'" Charlie Savage reported for the Times. "I'm particularly concerned that the United States seems oblivious to this fact when it asserts an ever-expanding entitlement for itself to target individuals across the globe," Alston is quoted as saying. "This expansive and open-ended interpretation of the right to self-defense goes a long way towards destroying the prohibition on the use of armed force contained in the U.N. Charter," Alston pointed out.
Alston can demand restraint all he likes but the administration of Nobel Peace Prize recipient Barack Obama is not apt to listen. Obama has dramatically stepped up such attacks by the CIA over the occasional sorties resorted to by his predecessor. Washington's thinking appears to be, Why should U.S. troops risk storming some alleged terrorist hideout when a CIA operator in far-off Langley, Va., needs only to manipulate a computer screen to have a drone wipe them out?
Reasons against using the drones include the possibility there may be innocent persons in the same building as the alleged terrorists. Only a week ago the military conceded its own drone operators called in an airstrike in February that killed 23 Afghan civilians, including women and children. Another argument against drones is that the alleged terrorists have no opportunity to surrender or to get a jury trial. The U.N.'s Alston also warns that for CIA operators thousands of miles from the point of attack "there is a risk of developing a 'PlayStation' mentality to killing." Yet another argument against the drones is that the survivors of those killed regard such attacks as cowardly and each successful (from the CIA's viewpoint) air strike only increases the public's resolve to resist the U.S. occupation. Friends and relatives of the slain innocents turn bitterly against the U.S. This situation, by the way, is nothing new. U.S. and British air attacks on German facilities in occupied France during World War II were frequently so off target that the French Resistance pleaded with the U.S. to stop the bombing and to let them take out the Nazi targets from the ground, even at great risk to themselves. Sadly, 70,000 French civilians were killed by Allied aerial bombardments gone awry. "So far," says international legal authority Francis Boyle of the University of Illinois at Champaign, "all CIA drone attacks have been murders, assassinations, and extrajudicial executions--a grave violation of international human rights law, the laws of the countries where the attacks took place, and of US domestic law." Boyle added, "All CIA drone strikes in Pakistan are criminal and a grave violation of international human rights law."
While the laws of war apply to insurgents engaged in armed combat in Iraq and Afghanistan, Boyle says, they do not apply "when they are sleeping at their homes with their families." Moreover, "it appears that the Pentagon's use of drones has serious problems of discriminating between civilians and insurgents engaged in armed combat, (resulting in a seriously disproportional ratio between allegedly dead insurgents and civilian casualties) which raises the issue of war crimes accountability." In about his first 10 months in office, President Obama okayed at least 41 drone strikes in Pakistan that killed between 326 and 538 people, many of them "innocent bystanders, including children," according to a study by the non-profit New America Foundation of Washington, D.C. Example: on his third day in the White House, Obama sanctioned two strikes, the second of which mistakenly struck the home of a pro-government tribal leader that killed his entire family, including three children, one as young as five. "The point is," Louise Doswald-Beck, a professor of international law at the Geneva Graduate Institute in Switzerland, told the AP, "innocent people have been killed, this has been proved over and over again."
Civilian casualties raise the issue of whether remote controlled drones "can ever be used in a manner consistent with the laws of war in actual war zones such as Iraq and Afghanistan," Boyle says. "I suspect that...the Pentagon has consigned this 'wet-work' to the CIA," Boyle added, because "they have a long history of doing it, especially in Operation Phoenix during the Vietnam War. The CIA is an organized and ongoing criminal conspiracy under international law and US domestic law. Does the Pentagon want to or intend to become the same?" he asks.
The CIA's key role in carrying out what academic critics call international crime, raises troubling questions about who actually is running the United States of America. It should be recalled that Obama---who was employed after graduating Columbia University as a business writer for CIA-front Business International Corp.---wrote a letter to the CIA on April 16, 2009, that stated, "It is a core American value that we are a Nation of laws, and the CIA protects and upholds that principle under extraordinarily difficult circumstances every day." "Laws?" When Obama has declined to prosecute CIA thugs for torture (in violation of U.S. law) and who obstructed justice by destroying taped recordings of torture sessions! By contrast, Pentagon jailers accused of torturing in the Middle East have been tried and convicted. Bluntly, CIA officials appear to be above the law. The bottom line today is that CIA officials seated at computers in Langley, Va., can decide who lives or dies most anywhere on the planet without regard for international law or fear of prosecution from Obama's Justice Department. And we have a president formerly employed by the CIA who is empowering its crimes, including assassination, which Webster's defines as "to kill suddenly or secretively, especially to murder a politically prominent person."

The defendants and their allies released a statement<http://warisacrime.org/content/hancock-17-drone-war-crimes-resisters-trial-continues-week>: "After awaiting trial for 15 months, the defense case of the Hancock 17 will begin at 5 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 23, continuing on Friday, Jan. 24, in De Witt Town Court, near Syracuse. On Oct. 25, 2012, 17 people were arrested for symbolically blocking the three gates at Hancock National Air Guard Base which is a site where MQ 9 Reaper drones are piloted over Afghanistan. ... They stood in front of the gates with banners and and signs calling for an end to drone warfare and read a citizen's War Crimes Indictment<http://vcnv.org/war-crimes-indictment-served-at-hancock-air-force-base> to the base personnel at the gates. They called for an end of attacks on civilians that are illegal under international war.
"After almost three hours outside the gates, the protesters were arrested and arraigned on charges of Trespass and Disorderly Conduct. ... The protesters were also issued Orders of Protection for Col. Earl Evans which require them to stay away from the base. Violating the Order carries potential misdemeanor or even felony charges. ...

Subject: Declaration in Hancock 17 Drone Resistance Case/Pro-Drone Lawyer Up for Judgeship while Drone Protesters Face Prison
DECLARATION OF FRANCIS A. BOYLE
Pursuant to 28 USC 1746, Francis A. Boyle declares under penalty of perjury:
1. I am a Professor of Law at the University of Illinois College of Law in Champaign, Illinois. I hold a Doctor of Law Magna Cum Laude from Harvard Law School and an A.M. and Ph.D. in Political Science from the Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, Department of Government, where I specialized in International Political Science and its relationship to International Law. I graduated from the same Harvard Ph.D. Program that produced Henry Kissinger, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Samuel Huntington et al. before me. My resume is attached to this Declaration and is hereby incorporated by reference.
2. I am an expert in International Law and Foreign Policy. I have studied, read, taught, and written extensively in these areas, and have been qualified as an expert witness in several courts across the country and abroad. I also currently teach a course on The Constitutional Law of U.S. Foreign Affairs. Previously, I taught the course here on Criminal Law for several years.
3. I have been qualified as an Expert and testified in U.S. military court-martial proceedings involving (1) U.S.M.C. Corporal Jeff Paterson (1990); (2) U.S. Army Captain Doctor Yolanda Huet-Vaugn (1991); (3) U.S. Army Captain Lawrence Rockwood (1995); (4) U.S. Army Reserve Staff Sergeant Camilo Mejia (2003); and (5) U.S. Army First Lieutenant Ehren Watada (2006).
4. In 1983 the United States Military Academy at West Point invited me to lecture and debate before their 21st Senior Conference on Nuclear Deterrence on the subject of Nuclear Deterrence and International Law. The audience consisted of about 200 high-level officials from the United States government in charge of U.S. nuclear weapons policies, both military and civilian. Sitting in the audience for my entire presentation was the 3-Star General in charge of War Operations at the Pentagon.
5. Starting in October of 2001, the United States war against Afghanistan has been and still is an illegal war of aggression that violates the United Nations Charter (1945), the Nuremberg Charter (1945), the Nuremberg Judgment (1946), and the Nuremberg Principles (1950). Therefore the U.S. war against Afghanistan constitutes a Nuremberg Crime against Peace against the State of Afghanistan, its Taliban Government, Taliban government officials, Taliban combatants, and the citizens of Afghanistan. The reasons for these conclusions are set forth in two scholarly essays I have published: George Bush, Jr., September 11 and the Rule of Law, in my book The Criminality of Nuclear Deterrence 16-39 (Clarity Press: 2002); and No War Against Afghanistan!, in my book Tackling America's Toughest Questions 24-38 (Clarity Press: 2009). I have attached copies of these essays to this Declaration and hereby incorporate them by reference.
6. In addition, I also wish to draw to the Court's attention the memoirs by Richard A. Clark, Chairman of the Counter-terrorism Security Group at the White House under President George Bush Jr. on September 11, 2001, Against All Enemies (2004), at page 24: "When later in the discussion [on the evening of Sept. 11, with Bush and his crisis advisors], Secretary Rumsfeld noted that international law allowed the use of force only to prevent future attacks and not for retribution, Bush nearly bit his head off. 'No,' the President yelled in the narrow conference room, 'I don't care what the international lawyers say, we are going to kick some ass.'" (Emphasis added.)
7. The Nuremberg Crime Against Peace has been expressly incorporated into Department of the Army Field Manual 27-10, The Law of Land Warfare (1956), which in relevant part provides as follows:
Section II. CRIMES UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW
498. Crimes Under International Law
Any person, whether a member of the armed forces or a civilian, who commits an act which constitutes a crime under international law is responsible therefor and liable to punishment. Such offenses in connection with war comprise:
a. Crimes against peace.
b. Crimes against humanity.
c. War crimes.
....
8. U.S. Army Field Manual 27-10 (1956) was drafted for the United States Army by then Major Richard R. Baxter. Professor Baxter later taught me his course on The Laws of War at Harvard Law School. I was the top student in his class and Professor Baxter recommended me for my current position as a law professor. Professor Baxter was later elected a Judge on the International Court of Justice, the so-called World Court of the United Nations System. While he was alive, Professor Baxter was generally considered to be the world's leading expert on the Laws of War.
9. Therefore, I am uniquely qualified to testify concerning the relevance of the Laws of War to these proceedings. The Defendants have asked me to testify. I have agreed to testify. I hereby respectfully request this Honorable Court to permit me to testify at this trial.
10. Since the terrible terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the United Government and its Armed Forces and the Central Intelligence Agency have operated in accordance with the Doctrine of the Global Battlefield. Pursuant thereto, the United States Government, United States Armed Forces as well as the Central Intelligence Agency will target and have targeted with deadly force including and especially by means of drones supposed combatants anywhere in the world:
And even if the supposed combatants are far from any field of battle.
And even if the supposed combatants are sleeping in their beds at home at night with their wives and their children far from any field of battle.
And even if the supposed combatants are citizens of the United States of America.
11. These and other U.S. targeting doctrines for the declared U.S. Global Battlefield Doctrine by means of drones and otherwise constitute Crimes against Peace, Crimes against Humanity, and War Crimes.
12. Wherefore I most respectfully request this Honorable Court to permit me to testify in these proceedings.
13. I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. I am prepared to testify under oath and answer questions on these and related matters.
Most respectfully submitted by,

Pro-Drone Lawyer Up for Judgeship while Drone Protesters Face Prison
While 29 of President Obama's judicial nominees were voted out of committee last week, one is coming under criticism from both the left and right. Legal Times reports<http://legaltimes.typepad.com/blt/2014/01/senate-judiciary-committee-approves-29-judicial-nominees.html> that Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) "voiced numerous concerns about [David] Barron for the First Circuit, saying he has advocated for positions 'far outside the mainstream<http://www.grassley.senate.gov/news/Article.cfm?customel_dataPageID_1502=48028>.' Barron, Grassley said, quoting from a New York Times article, participated in crafting the Justice Department legal memo authorizing the use of drones to kill U.S. citizens in other countries. The committee voted 10-8 to approve Barron's nomination."
Just after his November nomination, the New York Times noted<http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/25/us/former-justice-department-official-is-nominated-to-appeals-court.html> that Barron "signed two secret memorandums<http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/10/world/middleeast/anwar-al-awlaki-a-us-citizen-in-americas-cross-hairs.html> declaring that it would be lawful for the United States to kill Anwar al-Awlaki, a United States citizen suspected of plotting terrorist attacks<http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/09/world/middleeast/secret-us-memo-made-legal-case-to-kill-a-citizen.html>, if it were not feasible to capture him."
FRANCIS BOYLE, fboyle at illinois.edu<mailto:fboyle at illinois.edu>
Boyle is a professor at the University of Illinois College of Law and author of Tackling America's Toughest Questions. He said today<http://www.opednews.com/articles/Obama-Nominates-War-Crimi-by-Sherwood-Ross-Attack_ENABLER_Justice_Obama-War-Criminal-140122-203.html>: "Barron co-authored the infamous Justice department opinion authorizing Obama's murder of U.S. citizens. This is a total disgrace. If approved, we will have a murderer and a war criminal sitting on the U.S. First Circuit. ... So here Barron and [his coauthor in the legal opinion Martin] Lederman deliberately and maliciously write a get-out-of-jail-free card for Obama so that he can murder U.S. citizens, which he does. ... Barron is neither fit nor qualified to serve as a Judge on the First Circuit -- a post which would make him a prime candidate for a U.S. Supreme Court seat. ... This is exactly how Bush paid back Jay Bybee [author of legal memos on torture] when he put him on the Ninth Circuit. Obama is worse than Bush in that Obama is a lawyer and knows better."
Meanwhile, the trial of the "Hancock 17" peace activists is taking place.

Right. I am happy to speak at the demonstration and denounce the entire Law School Faculty for bringing in Killer Koh. When they announced this at the end of last summer, I objected in the strongest terms possibly imaginable and repeatedly with ample documentation of all the dirty work he had done for Mrs Clinton when she was Secretary of State and he was her Lawyer on the Law School email list going out to all law faculty members. The COL had the entire 2015-2016 academic year to bring him in here to lecture. Instead, the COL are bringing him in here on October 28, 2016, ten days before the Presidential Election, to make the best case he can to get his fellow Yale Law Mafia Boss Mrs Clinton elected President. And it has already been reported that he is a high level operative in the Clinton Presidential Campaign. We cannot let this Travesty of Justice pass!
No! No! Killer Koh!

Carl and Prof. Boyle, David and David, Stuart and Karen M, Ron, and Midge.
Yes we do need to bring this community together to voice our opposition to the continued killings.
There is so much talent in this community but everyone is focused on single issues of interest. The best we were able to do last year at the U of I Law School discussion related to the "Legitimacy of Drone Killing", was about 6 of us. It's time for everyone who wants justice to come together on the single issue of war, hegemony, killing and destruction. We need to remember the date October 28th and plan.

For sure. We need a demonstration here at the College of Law on October 28 as big as the demonstration we had against Meese in 1987 when the College of Law invited Meese to speak "in honor" of the 200th Anniversary of the US Constitution over at the Krannert Center.

He is parroting his Yale Law Mafia Boss Clinton for whose election campaign he works in the hope and expectation that he will become her Attorney General or Secretary of State. And when he comes out here to the College of Law to speak on October 28, ten days before the Presidential Election, he will make the best pitch he can to get her elected for a $5000 honorarium and in violation of the Illinois Statute strictly prohibiting the use of the University of Illinois for partisan electoral purposes.

> ...In an essay cross-posted at Lawfare and Just Security, Ashley Deeks and Marty Lederman criticize the dissent memo in part because it does not address how it would be lawful for the United States to attack Syrian government forces. They suggested it would be illegal under both domestic and international law. In a rejoinder posted at Just Security,Harold Koh argues that whether or not the diplomats' proposed policy is a good idea, there would be stronger legal authority for it than they maintain. (This is obviously, in part, an iteration in the long-running debate over "responsibility to protect" and whether humanitarian interventions can be lawful even without a United Nations Security Council resolution or a self-defense rationale.)...

He told me that Killer Koh is gunning to become either the Secretary of State or the Attorney General in a Mrs Clinton Administration. Obviously, the Yale Law Mafia who run this Law School are inviting Killer Koh out here ten days before the presidential election to make the best pitch he can for electing his Boss Yale Law Mafia Mrs Clinton in the hopes and expectations that they can get some nice cushy appointments in a Clinton Administration under Killer Koh at either State or Justice, etc. It's called Bootlicking.
