| Obama gave CIA 'secret waiver' for Pakistan drone strikes: report |
| 2015-04-28 |
[DAWN] President Barack ObamaThe point I was making was not that Grandmother harbors any racial animosity. She doesn’t. But she is a typical white person... secretly exempted the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) from carrying out adequate intelligence-gathering missions in Pakistain before conducting drone strikes in the country. These are the tax rules for your 401k's, until we decide to secretly change them. If you like your Master Limited Partnerships, you can keep them. The Wall Street Journal quotes current and former United States (US) officials as saying President B.O. made rules for the US drone programme stricter in 2013, but secretly approved a waiver allowing the CIA more flexibility when it comes to conducting drone strikes against suspected murderous Moslems in Pakistain. The rules introduced in 2013 were meant to reduce the possibility of civilian casualties, and required that targets must be an imminent threat to the US. The waiver, however, exempts the CIA from adhering to these rules while launching drone strikes in Pakistain. The deaths of two hostages, Warren Weinstein and Giovanni Lo Porto, who were killed in a drone strike targeting Al-Qaeda Death Eaters, could have been avoided had the exemption not been in place for Pakistain. |

| #2 If Bush had done this, the press would be calling for his head. Everyone in the CIA would be under indictment. Instead, the attitude is "oh, well" |
