Barack Obama’s Undeclared War – 2500 Dead & Counting…
The Obama White House long ago wiped out any references to a “War on Terror”. Perhaps that is because it has been that same White House responsible for hundreds of acts of terror around the globe – some of which the New York Times now finally acknowledges. And where then, are the war protesters? The human rights activists? Hardly a word has been raised against the Obama administration’s rampant use of drone killings…

Election Spurred a Move to Codify U.S. Drone Policy
The matter may have lost some urgency after Nov. 6. But with more than 300 drone strikes and some 2,500 people killed by the Central Intelligence Agency and the military since Mr. Obama first took office, the administration is still pushing to make the rules formal and resolve internal uncertainty and disagreement about exactly when lethal action is justified.
…Partly because United Nations officials know that the United States is setting a legal and ethical precedent for other countries developing armed drones, the U.N. plans to open a unit in Geneva early next year to investigate American drone strikes.
…Shuja Nawaz, a Pakistan-born analyst now at the Atlantic Council in Washington, said the United States should start making public a detailed account of the results of each strike, including any collateral deaths, in part to counter propaganda from jihadist groups. “This is a grand opportunity for the Obama administration to take the drones out of the shadows and to be open about their objectives,” he said.
But the administration appears to be a long way from embracing such openness. The draft rule book for drone strikes that has been passed among agencies over the last several months is so highly classified, officials said, that it is hand-carried from office to office rather than sent by e-mail.
