Making it Count

Text

“Many Americans can’t believe their government would kill innocents in drone strikes. But hundreds of innocents were imprisoned in Guantanamo despite being interrogated first. Domestically, the Innocence Project estimates that there are tens of thousands of innocent citizens in U.S. prisons, despite a system that guarantees due process, a right to counsel, and a standard of “guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.” Then we send pilot-less airplanes to a foreign country, receive images taken from high altitudes, and a CIA employee decides whether to fire or not. And many Americans still can’t believe that their government would kill innocents in drone strikes. This is a moral failure — and a political one too.”
