The drone assassination program is far and away the worst act of terror in the world. It’s also a terror-generating program. And they know it, from high places.
Watch: How are these two men connected? Peace activist Mark Colville (top) is facing up two years in prison for standing up on behalf of Ras Muhammed (bottom), who is suffering after a U.S. drone attack killed his brother-in-law and several friends. Corville says he wanted to bring Muhammed’s story directly to the U.S. military crew piloting drone attacks remotely from Hancock Field Air National Guard Base in New York. Colville was arrested at a peaceful protest in 2013 against the U.S. drone war program in which he hoped to “unite our own sufferings to the incredible sufferings that he [Muhammed] and his extended family have gone through.”
Hours before being sentenced, Colville was interviewed on Democracy Now! about his case. Watch it here.
