US drone 'kills five in Pakistan'

[Jan Klimkowski]

There is a reason many youth and military have been pushed toward war/killing computer games. The guys who set the coordinates and these drones on their way think of it [have been taught to think of it] as nothing more than a video arcade event. No one was 'really' killed. No family seen to weep and mourn - they're not really 'humans' anyway 'over there'. War has been sanitized; as has the news (sic); next they will sanitize most people's brains [those that haven't already been via TV and the prapaganda machinery.] How about the Wedding Party in Afghanistan descimated some time back. There was so much flack about that the USG even offered to pay the surviving family. I believe they refused.

Indeed.

In addition, this is state-sanctioned assassination. And yet because of the drone technology, and those fancy video arcade graphics, MSM does not even debate the legality or otherwise of these actions.

And when the drones hit the wrong target - eg wedding parties, or women and children - and locals present photographic evidence of the corpses of the innocent, MSM's default position is to consider such evidence "controversial" and "possible propaganda".

It stinks.
