Enough Already: Time to End the War on Terrorism

Just two months before September 11th, journalist Eric Margolis witnessed Chinese Uighurs training in CIA-sponsored camps in Afghanistan for use against the regime in Beijing.

in Afghanistan, from 2012 to 2013, out of 200 people killed by drone strikes only 35 were the intended targets, or “jackpots,” as they called them. The rest of those innocent civilians? They were just EKIAs—Enemies Killed in Action. If no one proves they were innocent after they are killed, then the dead are presumed guilty and their killers innocent.

The U.S.-Saudi coalition launched 18,000 strikes by the fall of 2018, “one-third of which have hit non-military targets,” according to Frank McManus of the International Rescue Committee.

And where Obama drone-bombed Anwar Awlaki and his son, both U.S.-born American citizens, Trump’s forces killed Awlaki’s eight-year-old daughter Nowar in a JSOC raid. She reportedly bled out over four hours after being shot in the neck.
