Senator: “If there’s a line of traffic coming out of a camp and we think that is populated by
people who don’t like America — we bomb them”
The Pentagon is to reward drone operators with medals, despite the fact that strikes have killed
thousands of innocent civilians in Yemen and Pakistan; and the majority of Americans will support the
action.
AP reports that the DoD is creating a new ribbon, called the Distinguished Warfare Medal that will be
awarded for “extra achievement” related to a military operation. This will encompass sitting at a
computer console and pressing a button to release Hellfire missiles from Predator drones hundreds and
thousands of miles away.
The AP report notes that the medal would become the fourth-highest ranking combat decoration,
placing above the Bronze Star, but below the Silver Star. The medal will be the first combat-award
created by the Armed Forces since World War II.
Pentagon guidelines state that “The extraordinary achievement must have resulted in an
accomplishment so exceptional and outstanding as to clearly set the individual apart from comrades or
from other persons in similar situations.”
Critics immediately jumped on the development, with some referring to the new medal as the “Geek
Cross”, and suggesting that video game heads could soon be awarded Purple Hearts in recognition of
animated wounds.
Research by the Pew Center, published Monday, found that “Overall, 56 percent [of Americans]
approve of the U.S. conducting missile strikes from pilotless aircraft to target extremists in countries
such as Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia;
just 26 percent say they disapprove.”
The majority registered approval despite
a leaked Justice Department memo
earlier this month concluding that the
U.S. government can order the killing of
American citizens with drones “even if,”
as NBC reported, “there is no
intelligence indicating they are engaged
in an active plot to attack the U.S.”

Senator Rand Paul described support for the drone program as “very scary and worrisome”,
Wednesday, and said he feared it would open up a “Pandora’s box” as far as federal government
authority goes.
“It is very scary and worrisome to me… We don’t even name the target of people we kill with drones.
If there’s a line of traffic coming out of a camp and we think that is populated by people who don’t like
America — we bomb them,” Paul said.
“Is that a high enough standard for Americans maybe coming out of a city or an encampment
somewhere in the U.S. where they’re meeting and saying anti-government things? Are we going to
have signature strikes in America? I mean, it opens Pandora’s box once you say we may as well kill
Americans in America without any judicial trial, with politicians making the decision, that’s very
worrisome.” the Senator continued.
In the interview with CNN, Paul said he was considering filibustering the nomination of John Brennan
for CIA director, after Brennan refused to answer Paul’s line of questioning during Brennan’s
confirmation hearing.
“If you’re not going to answer, No,’ I think that means you’re telling us, ‘Yes’ — you believe that the
president has the power to kill an Americans in America. That is appalling,” Paul said during the
interview.
In a further statement today, Paul noted:
“I have asked Mr. Brennan if he believed that the President has the power to authorize lethal force, such
as a drone strike, against a U.S. citizen on U.S. soil, and my question remains unanswered. I will not
allow a vote on this nomination until Mr. Brennan openly responds to the questions and concerns my
colleagues and I share.”
“These issues must be discussed openly so that the American people can understand what constraints
exist on the government’s power to use lethal force against its citizens. Before confirming Mr. Brennan
as the head of the CIA, it must be apparent that he understands and will honor the protections provided
to every American by the Constitution.” Paul’s statement reads.
