There is, as usual, no indication that these media outlets have any idea whatsoever about who was killed in these strikes. All they know is that "officials" (whether American or Pakistani) told them that they were "militants," so they blindly repeat that as fact. They "report" this not only without having the slightest idea whether it’s true, but worse, with the full knowledge that the word "militant" is being aggressively distorted by deceitful U.S. government propaganda that defines the term to mean: any "military-age males" whom we kill (the use of the phrase "suspected militants" in the body of the article suffers the same infirmity).
How is it possible to have any informed democratic debate over a policy about which the U.S. media relentlessly propagandizes this way?
Thursday, May 31, 2012 Assange and the crooked British judges
"Julian Assange loses extradition case – live coverage" This is completely fucking outrageous, and everybody should be up in arms.
First, the majority of the court substituted its own argument for those made by the prosecutor - proving that they rejected all the prosecutor's arguments for extradition - an argument that was never argued in court, thus depriving Assange any chance to refute it. Secondly, they then tried a dirty trick by attempting to hide this substituted argument from Assange's counsel until it was too late.
They knew their methods of railroading Assange were dirty, and it was only the diligence of Assange's lawyer that brought this atrocity into the open in time, forcing the judges to give Assange another kick at the can. These judges of the majority are obviously utterly corrupt, and the only chance for justice in this matter will be in Strasbourg.
Looking forward to finding out that the SCOTUS does the same......;}
