“ I want to make sure people understand actually drones have not caused a huge number of civilian casualties
—

Barack Obama on the drone program that kills 1 militant for every 10-15 civilians. (via jonathan-cunningham)

Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA) states, similarly, that “noncombatant casualties” from drone strikes are “kept to an absolute minimum” … you will notice that neither Obama nor Feinstein will define for us what they seem to mean by “huge number”, “noncombatant”, or “absolute minimum” … And yet, it’s important that they try to define this for us, because it seems we’re speaking an entirely different language.

Also, you could call me pie-in-the-sky* for saying so, but I think “absolute minimum” should be defined as 0 and “huge number” should be defined as 1.

*hey, i like pie and skies and fuck you and your ideas about “just war” waged by the State
