U.S. Military [And CIA] Gives Unlawful Orders To Kill In Iraq And Afghanistan Daily

From A Charging Elephant:

Jan 5, 2011 3:42 AMUpdate: US Military gives unlawful orders to kill in Iraq and Afghanistan dailyfrom Charging Elephant by divingnews@gmail.comJust say the word Sniper and give him an order on any given day, and that order will be to kill an individual that the sniper cannot see. There is no way to determine if he is an insurgent or a peaceful civilian living in the area who happened to come in view of a spotter’s scope.












Let’s discuss missiles that are fired from a drone commanded from a bunker in Florida or CIA Headquarters in Langley, VA. Upon hitting a home or building with “high value targets” does the person executing the operation know if there are friendly people inside?



The answer is absolutely not. A drone recently killed innocent civilians in Pakistan. Who gave that order and why is he not in prison? Wasn’t it an unlawful order to kill?









Why does Corey Clagett rot in solitary confinement for following an acknowledged unlawful order to kill yet those who gave the order remain free?



This is really a story about how and why Corey Clagett is being hung out to dry and his life thrown away by the US Military when those who gave the orders should be taking his place.



There is no interest by the military on determining who gave the orders to Clagett’s squad.



Isn’t this a story about cruel and unusual punishment and when enough is absolutely enough?




On December 31, 2010 the story about PFC Corey Clagett was discussed in the National Examiner. He is currently incarcerated at Leavenworth Military Maximum Security Prison, Leavenworth, Kansas.



With today’s update you will find contact information for Corey’s two U.S. Senators, Lindsey Graham, and Jim DeMint, as well as, his representative from the first district, Harry E. Brown.



The new Congress is being sworn in and it’s time to get their support for Corey’s case. Please write to your Congressman and Senators. Corey needs their support for his upcoming Clemency hearing. Below is a template of comments in a letter for you to send. Make sure you mail it to the local office, not the office in Washington D.C. (the mail takes too long because of screening for Anthrax). Together we can get Corey the support he needs to win his freedom.
