As you are well aware, there’s been a disturbing lack of public debate so far about U.S. policy on drone strikes. Guess what? The Washington Post editorial board agrees. In a new editorial, they say: “the means and objectives of drone attacks — and the Obama administration’s steps toward institutionalizing the system — deserve much more debate than they have attracted during the presidential campaign.” [1]
Let’s show the Washington Post editorial board we agree with their call for more debate by getting some letters into the Post challenging the drone strike policy. We’ve tried to make it easy for you by setting up a tool for sending them a letter, together with some suggested talking points. You can find that here:
