President Obama: Why Must We Needlessly Kill?
Dear Mr. President,
You may soon be asked to explain how the law allows our military to consider all Pakistani men between 20 and 40 as at risk for targeting by drones. A government spokesmen has been quoted saying this, and it sits unrefuted.
Is this general policy? This fulfills a definition for war crimes. We are warring against a demographic.
Discussion of the right rules for extrajudicial killing could unite red and blue Americans. We all believe that we shouldn't kill anyone in our name when we don't absolutely need to.
I trust you will have your explanation for why this is happening and how it can possibly happen under our constitution well prepared.
In distress,
etc.
