Doyle McManus, columnist for the LA Times, raises an interesting point as to who is in charge of reviewing the US kill list. He notes that it took a court order to listen in on Awlaki's conversations but no such order was needed to kill him. Given that 1300 people have been killed by drone in Pakistan alone, what is the total number worldwide?

Imagine if Pat Buchannan or David Duke had written an article calling for the assassination of the President of the United States.
I've yet to hear anything from the Souther Poverty Law Center or the Department of Homeland Security as Jewish media owner Andrew Adler calls for Israel to assassinate President Barack Obama.
The Anti-Defamation League has come out and condemed this cowardly act of extemism.
As reported by Gawker, Adler's article, written earlier this month, describes the urgency in protecting the Israeli people from threats such as Hamas and Hezbollah and argues that there are essentially only three options available to Israel: 1. attack Hezbollah and Hamas; 2. "order the destruction of Iran's nuclear facilities at all costs;" 3. assassinate Obama.
From Adler's column, which is not available online, but which Gawker uploaded to the web:
***
"Yes, you read "three" correctly. Order a hit on a president in order to preserve Israel's existence. Think about it. If I have thought of this Tom Clancy-type scenario, don't you think that this almost unfathomable idea has been discussed in Israel's most inner circles?
Another way of putting "three" in perspective goes something like this: How far would you go to save a nation comprised of seven million lives ... Jews, Christians and Arabs alike?
You have got to believe, like I do, that all options are on the table."Imagine if Pat Buchannan or David Duke had written an article calling for the... more

Photographer Lalage Snow photographed and interviewed members of 1st Battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland before they were sent to Afghanistan, after three months' service, and days after they returned home. Their faces show the toll that fighting in Afghanistan takes on our troops.
Private Chris MacGregor, 24
11th March, Edinburgh: “Obviously I’ll miss family but other than that I am going to miss my dogs more than anything. They are my de-stressers and keep me sane. I think I’ll miss TV too though. I try not to think about the worst case scenario.”
19th June, Compound 19, Nad Ali, after an IED incident: “Most people get used to being away from home but I find it hard. It’s your fear that keeps you alive here. But I believe if it’s going to happen, it’s going to happen and theres nothing you can do about it. If the big man upstairs could do anything, there’d be no dead soldiers. They’d all be alive. It still hurts when you hear about a soldier dying. You think about what their families are going through. You ask what they died for and what we are achieving here. I am not sure any more. That Afghan soldier losing his legs just now… I don’t know….”
28th August, Edinburgh, after being evacuated due to sustained knee injury from Iraq: “My legs just gave up. I think it was the weight – 135 pounds or something. I just had to accept, my body was telling me to give up as I had pushed it. I was telling it to go, it was telling me to stop. When squaddies come back they still have a lot of adrenaline and anger in them. I had to have anger management after Iraq. If I get like that now, I just go for a walk with the dogs. It is the best way to deal with it, instead of being all tense and ready to snap at folk. The first thing I did when I came back, appart from kissing and cuddling the misses and my bairn, was go for a massive walk with the dogs.

Dear Dirty Newswire
The USS Carl Vinson was mysteriously capsized early Saturday morning as it entered the Strait of Hormuz. Early, unofficial reports suggest only one lowly deckhand survived. As of yet, he is too shaken to give a coherent report, but his friends have told media outlets not to worry, their friend is the type to write an entire novel. "It's a matter of time before he documents what truly happened," a close acquaintance said.
Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta refused members of the media any answers about what really happened to the aircraft carrier. He even skirted around confirming its capsizing. Rumors circulated online that a great white whale was responsible for the destruction of the USS Carl Vinson, and many are blaming Moby Dick.
One fisherman claims to have seen the U.S. carrier attacked. "A great beast of uncommon bulk arose out of the grey water. It had a frost-white wrinkled forehead and a menacing white hump," the fisherman told a local Iranian news site. "He had to be a whale, a great white whale streaked and marbled. The fish had an unhinged lower jaw which gave it a natural horror."
When a jaunty reporter corrected the fisherman about whales being mammals, and not fish, the fisherman hotly retorted that he had his own theories on what is and is not a fish. The reporter quickly backed off.
The whale reportedly repeatedly rammed the battleship with its bulbous forehead, dented the hull, and finally cracked the side, ultimately sinking the ship and killing all those on board except one.
Many bloggers and conspiracy theorists writing online scoffed at the idea of a whale capsizing an aircraft carrier large enough to hold 80 planes and helicopters. "It wasn't a normal goddamned whale," the fisherman said, "it was Moby Dick. Intelligent, fearless, and unchallenged in ferocity."
The fisherman refused to give his name, citing reasons of rising tensions between Iran and the U.S. and Israel. "I don't want to be no part of this death and destruction," he said, "but I am glad to know we've got a natural defense in the Strait."
Melville scholars everywhere are enthused over Saturday morning's report. "Some of us just knew that delightful novel wasn't completely fiction!" one professor wrote on his blog.
Bookstores in major metropolitan areas are reporting selling out of Moby Dick copies.
Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad briefly commented on the matter, "Death to the U.S.'s glorious battleships! Must ye then perish, perish! Thou all-destroying, but unconquering West! It is Hell's heart stabbing at you!"
Ahmadinejad later recanted his statements saying he didn't know such large whales resided in the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf. "Whales are whales," he said, "and I cannot control them."
The White House has not issued a statement. Analysts fear the rumors are true, and that U.S. officials are extremely embarrassed to have lost a ship to a whale as they beat their chests to intimidate Iran.
The USS Vinson is famous for hosting the first NCAA basketball game aboard a carrier, on 11/11/11. It is also the ship from which Osama bin Laden's heart was cut out of his chest, and his corpse was dumped into the sea for a proper burial.

Afghanistan's hardline Taliban on Thursday denounced as "barbaric" an online video apparently showing US Marines urinating on the bloodied corpses of slain insurgents, but said it would not affect peace talks.
The US military was investigating the "disgusting" footage, a Pentagon spokesman said, of what appears to be four servicemen dressed in United States military uniform relieving themselves onto three bodies.
They are apparently aware that they are being filmed.
"This is yet another barbaric act by foreign forces. Over the past 10 years there have been hundreds of similar cases that were not revealed," Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahed told AFP.
"We strongly condemn this," he said.
A Taliban spokesman later said that the video would not affect proposed peace talks.
"I don't think this new issue will affect negotiations which at this stage are mainly about prisoner exchange," spokesman Zabihullah Mujahed told AFP.
However, if authentic, the images – which conjure up previous abuses committed by US troops during the decade-long war – could spark deep anger and resentment in Afghanistan and the wider Muslim world.
The video has been broadcast by leading Afghan television station Tolo News.
The Pentagon has not yet verified the footage, but spokesman John Kirby told AFP: "Regardless of the circumstances or who is in the video, this is ... egregious, disgusting behaviour, unacceptable for anyone in uniform."
"It turned my stomach," he added of the video, which was posted on the Live Leak website.
A military official who asked not to be named said the helmet and weapon carried by one of the men seems to indicate the four could be members of an elite sniper team.
The official also said such conduct would be punishable under the US code of military justice.
The Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a prominent US Muslim civil rights and advocacy organisation, condemned the alleged desecration of corpses.
"If verified as authentic, the video shows behaviour that is totally unbecoming of American military personnel and that could ultimately endanger other soldiers and civilians," CAIR said in a statement.
"Any guilty parties must be punished to the full extent allowed by the Uniform Code of Military Justice and by relevant American laws."
A statement issued by the Pentagon said: "Headquarters Marine Corps has recently been made aware of a video that portrays Marines urinating on what appear to be deceased members of the Taliban.
"While we have not yet verified the origin or authenticity of this video, the actions portrayed are not consistent with our core values and are not indicative of the character of the Marines in our Corps.
"This matter will be fully investigated."
Some 20,000 Marines are deployed in Afghanistan, mostly in Kandahar and Helmand provinces in the south of the war-ravaged country, the heartland of the Taliban movement ousted from power in late 2001.
The United States and its Nato allies have 130,000 troops fighting the Taliban insurgency in Afghanistan.
US and coalition partners plan to hand over security for the whole of the country to Afghan forces by the end of 2014, allowing the withdrawal of combat forces.
In March 2011 the US military apologised after pictures surfaced of US soldiers from a rogue army unit posing with dead Afghans. Five soldiers from the unit were charged with murder for allegedly shooting civilians for sport.
In November the ringleader of the "kill team" – which was also charged with taking fingers and teeth as trophies from civilians killed for sport – was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison by a military panel.
That scandal was among the worst faced by the military since the April 2004 revelation of prisoner abuse at the US-run Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, which became a potent negative symbol of the US occupation.
Eventually, 11 soldiers were convicted in connection with the abuse, and received punishments ranging from an army discharge to 10 years in prison.Afghanistan's hardline Taliban on Thursday denounced as "barbaric" an... more

— The United States Marines Corps on Tuesday condemned a video that purportedly shows a Marine viciously mistreating a puppy and promised an aggressive investigation into who is responsible.
Sources at the Marine Corps base in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, told FOX News that they were upset and outraged by the video, which was initially posted on YouTube but has since been taken down. They confirmed there is someone stationed there who served in Iraq with the same name uttered in the video.
"There is [a man by that name] here and back from Iraq," a source said. "Whether or not he is actually in the video, I can't confirm that — that's being investigated right now."
In the grainy, low-quality clip, the Marine appears to throw a puppy off a rocky cliff while joking with another Marine, who addresses him by a single name as he holds up the motionless black-and-white dog before hurling it into a gully.
"Oh, I tripped," the first Marine says as he throws the animal. A yelping sound is heard as the puppy flies through the air.
"That's mean. That was mean, Motari," a second man, pictured with him in the beginning of the video, can be heard saying.
A host of Internet blogs and sites have circulated what they speculate is the dog-tossing Marine's full name.
It was likely that the named man and others were being questioned in the case, sources told FOXNews.com. Those at the base in Hawaii were very upset by the video.
"We're all outraged," a source said. "We're probably more outraged than the general public. I hate that it happened."
Earlier Tuesday, the base's public affairs director issued a statement denouncing the vignette.
"The video is shocking and deplorable and is contrary to the high standards we expect of every Marine," said Major Chris Perrine. "This video came to our attention this morning, and we have initiated an investigation. We do not tolerate this type of behavior and will take appropriate action."
Soon after the uproar started Tuesday, YouTube removed the video from its site on the grounds that it violated content rules — though it was still accessible and available via other links online.
The authenticity of the clip, which has been viewed more than 145,000 times since it was uploaded to YouTube in the last two days, has not been verified.
Perrine said it appears that the man in the video is a lance corporal based with a unit in the Hawaiian islands. His actions weren't characteristic of those of most men and women who serve, the spokesman said.
"The vast majority of Marines conduct their duties in an honorable manner that brings great credit upon the Marine Corps and the United States," said Perrine. "There have been numerous stories of Marines adopting pets and bringing them home from Iraq or helping to arrange life-saving medical care for Iraqi children.
"Those are the stories that exemplify what we stand for and how most Marines behave."
"It's questionable," sources told FOXNews.com. "But even if it was a fake, it's still outrageous."
Forum members and bloggers have been frantically trying to track down details of the soldier.
"Certainly there's a lot of outrage and a lot of people are upset about it. I think every Marine is upset about this video," Perrine said. "We will investigate and take appropriate action and make sure our Marine is safe as well.
"That is mistreatment of a puppy. That is a violation of anybody's standards, and the Marine Corps sets extremely high standards."— The United States Marines Corps on Tuesday condemned a video that purportedly... more

HOLLYWOOD, CA-- The 2012 Golden Globe Awards this Sunday will take a moment to honor the one million plus Iraqis who died during the U.S.-led invasion and occupation of Iraq since 2003. Once all the guests and stars arrive and are seated, a formal announcement will be made asking everybody to bow their heads in silence and remember the dead men, women, and children of Iraq.
"There are plenty of observances held for the fallen U.S. troops," a Golden Globes spokesperson said, "yet nobody seems to be tilting their hats toward those who suffered as their country was invaded and torn apart. We were going to ask the crowd to observe one second of silence for every dead Iraqi, but that would be over one million seconds, and we realize nobody has that kind of time."
To honor one million dead Iraqis with one second would require the Golden Globe attendees to sit for 278 hours, or for 11.5 days.
The commemoration of slain Iraqis comes on the heels of the official ending of the Iraq invasion. "I'm sure the troops will get a parade with ticker tape," the spokesman said.
Although Golden Globe Awards directors will be criticized for honoring Iraq, they are not off base with their claims that over one million Iraqis met violent deaths during the U.S.-led invasion during March 2003. The numbers hash out according to Opinion Research Business (ORB), a prestigious British polling group.
As Project Censored reports: "These numbers suggest that the invasion and occupation of Iraq rivals the mass killings of the last century—the human toll exceeds the 800,000 to 900,000 believed killed in the Rwandan genocide in 1994, and is approaching the number (1.7 million) who died in Cambodia’s infamous “Killing Fields” during the Khmer Rouge era of the 1970s."
This year's Golden Globe Awards will take place on Jan 15. Check official site for details.

"You will leave with great pride - lasting pride-secure in knowing that your sacrifice has helped the Iraqi people to begin a new chapter in history."
That was one of U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta's memorable messages to the few thousands of troops participating in a ceremony at Baghdad International Airport that marked the formal end to the nine-year war in Iraq that reportedly claimed about 4,500 American lives, wounded another estimated 32,000 and cost more than $800 billion. Nearly 100,000 Iraqis have died as well.
Panetta and several other U.S. diplomatic, military and defense leaders, including Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Gen. Lloyd Austin, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, made remarks during a symbolic ceremony in which the flag of U.S. Forces-Iraq was officially retired, or "cased," according to Army tradition. The flag was furled around a flagpole and covered in camouflage and will be brought back to the United States.
During a stop in Afghanistan this week, Panetta described the nine-year mission in Iraq as "making that country sovereign and independent and able to govern and secure itself," which, Panetta added, was "a tribute to everybody - everybody who fought in that war, everybody who spilled blood in that war, everybody who was dedicated to making sure we could achieve that mission."
Perhaps in what summed up the entire war, Panetta said later that the war was worth the price in blood and money, as it set Iraq on a path to democracy.
Iraqi citizens had a different take on it all, though, according to reports.
"The Americans are leaving behind them a destroyed country," said Mariam Khazim of Sadr City. "The Americans did not leave modern schools or big factories behind them. Instead, they left thousands of widows and orphans."
"The American ceremony represents the failure of the U.S. occupation of Iraq due to the great resistance of the Iraqi people," said Sadrist lawmaker Amir al-Kinani.
As of Thursday, there were two U.S. bases and about 4,000 U.S. troops in Iraq, a stark drop from the roughly 500 bases and 170,000 troops during the surge ordered by President George W. Bush in 2007, when the war reached its boiling point. All U.S. troops are scheduled to withdraw from Iraq by the end of the year, but reports say officials are likely to meet that goal a little bit before then. Over the coming days, the final few thousand U.S. troops will leave Iraq in orderly caravans and tightly scheduled flights, according to Fox News Latino.
Nevertheless, an early exit might make some military leaders worry about the strength of Iraqi security forces that are still maturing and are facing continuing struggles to develop logistics, air operations, surveillance and intelligence sharing capabilities.
Before Thursday's ceremony, Panetta acknowledged the difficulties Iraq will face in the coming years.
"They're going face challenges in the future," Panetta said Wednesday during his visit with troops in Afghanistan. "They'll face challenges from terrorism, they'll face challenges from those that would want to divide their country. They'll face challenges from just the test of democracy, a new democracy and trying to make it work. But the fact is, we have given them the opportunity to be able to succeed."

Former Vice President Dick Cheney said on Monday that President Barack Obama should have ordered an “air strike” on Iran after they recently captured a U.S. drone.
Earlier on Monday, President Barack Obama had explained that U.S. officials asked Iran to return the RQ-170 Sentinel surveillance drone.
“The right response to that would have been to go in immediately after it had gone down and destroy it,” Cheney told CNN’s Erin Burnett. “You can do that from the air. You can do that with a quick air strike, and in effect make it impossible for them to benefit from having captured that drone.”
“I was told that the president had three options on his desk. He rejected all of them,” the former vice president added.
“They all involved sending somebody in to try to recover it, or if you can’t do that, admittedly that would be a difficult operation, you certainly could have gone in and destroyed it on the ground with an air strike.”
For their part, Iran has called on the U.S. to apologize, saying the U.S. broke international laws by violating their airspace.

The Air Force dumped the incinerated partial remains of at least 274 American troops in a Virginia landfill, far more than the military had acknowledged, before halting the secretive practice three years ago, records show.
The landfill dumping was concealed from families who had authorized the military to dispose of the remains in a dignified and respectful manner, Air Force officials said. There are no plans, they said, to alert those families now.
Senior Air Force leaders said there was no intent to deceive. “Absolutely not,” said Lt. Gen. Darrell D. Jones, the Air Force’s deputy chief of staff for personnel.
his week, after The Post pressed for information contained in the Dover mortuary’s electronic database, the Air Force produced a tally based on those records. It showed that 976 fragments from 274 military personnel were cremated, incinerated and taken to the landfill between 2004 and 2008.
An additional group of 1,762 unidentified remains were collected from the battlefield and disposed of in the same manner, the Air Force said. Those fragments could not undergo DNA testing because they had been badly burned or damaged in explosions. The total number of incinerated fragments dumped in the landfill exceeded 2,700.
A separate federal investigation of the mortuary last month, prompted by whistleblower complaints, uncovered “gross mismanagement” and documented how body parts recovered from bomb blasts stacked up in the morgue’s coolers for months or years before they were identified and disposed of.

PAKISTAN -- 24 dead Pakistani troops magically returned to life Saturday after U.S. Gen John Allen apologized "to the families and loved ones of any member of the Pakistani security forces who may have been killed or injured."
The soldiers were killed by a NATO helicopter attack, and would have been one of the deadliest attacks for Pakistani security forces by the U.S.-led coalition, had the apology not brought back to life the dead service members.
An anonymous source close to Allen admitted he didn't think the General's apology would actually mean anything. "Nobody could have predicted that these soldiers would have come back to life, but I guess that's the best possible scenario. I wouldn't be surprised if we started apologizing more often for civilian and friendly-fire casualties," he told reporters.
The bloody incident, which was being investigated, has now been closed. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also weighed in. "This could have been really bad for the United States' rapport with Pakistan and the world, had Gen Allen not apologized. I want to apologize to the families of the dead, or once dead, Pakistani soldiers. The U.S. and NATO never actually means to kill any innocent people."
Gen Allen went on to say, "I apologized real hard, and we closed this matter without further incident. I'm glad, too, because this could have started a war with one of our battered allies."
Before its soldiers were resurrected by the General's apology, Pakistan had closed its border crossings to NATO in retaliation for an "unprovoked" and "gross violation of their country's sovereignty."

Malaysian ‘tribunal’ finds Bush, Blair guilty of war crimes
By David Edwards
Wednesday, November 23, 2011
A symbolic tribunal in Malaysia ruled unanimously Tuesday that former U.S. President George W. Bush and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair were both guilty of “crimes against peace” for the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
The Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal, part of an initiative by former Malaysian premier Mahathir Mohamad – a fierce critic of the Iraq war – found the former leaders guilty after a four-day hearing.
While the court is modeled after the post-World War II Nuremberg Tribunal, it carries no legal weight.
“War criminals have to be dealt with — convict Bush and Blair as charged,” a statement from Mahathir’s Perdana Global Peace Foundation said. “A guilty verdict will serve as a notice to the world that war criminals may run but can never ultimately hide from truth and justice.”

The practice of enforced disappearances has increased dramatically since Pakistan joined the US-led "war on terror" in 2001. Disappearances occur across the country but especially in Balochistan province in the south-west, which faces violence from ethnic and religious armed groups and state security forces. Activists, journalists, and students have been especially targeted and an increasing number have been found dead with their bodies showing signs of torture.
