Here's what a CIA whistleblower has to say about her role in the Drone murder program

Avril Haines, at the NSC, was in charge of determining whether it was legal or illegal to place people on John Brennan’s kill list. We know that in almost all cases that she said it was legal to put these names on the kill list, and people were subsequently killed by drone, including American citizens, like Anwar al-Awlaki and his son.

She also choose not to discipline CIA agents for hacking the computers of Congressional Staffers authoring the Senate torture report.

Later she heavily redacted the final draft of the report; reducing it from 6000 pages to 500.

And she heavily advocates for an intensification of " crippling economic sanctions on North Korea "

However, I'm gonna push back on the grandpa love and say it's not that surprising that Bernie would vote to confirm this ghoul considering he's always supported drone warfare; saying they've “ done some good things ,” and “ taken out people who should be taken out .” When it comes to opposing Imperialism, Bernie has never been on our side .

    I don't quite understand the part about saying no but not saying no?

    "Does it follow from this that our representative in the Reichstag must oppose all debate on bills concerning these matters with an abrupt and blunt no? Absolutely not," - then she talks about investigating the individual parts and then always coming to the conclusion of no anyways. Is she saying it's important to explain the root causes of the no every time to show people your ideological consistency?
