Obama's drone war a 'recruitment tool' for Isis, say US air force whistleblowers



Great article in THE GUARDIAN worth reading: 

Obama's drone war a 'recruitment tool' for Isis, say US air force whistleblowers



Four former US air force service members, with more than 20 years of experience between them operating military drones, have written an open letter to Barack Obama warning that the program of targeted killings by unmanned aircraft has become a major driving force for Isis and other terrorist groups.

Four former U.S. drone operators are coming forward publicly to denounce the drone program with one voice as a violation of fundamental human rights and serving as a recruitment tool for terrorism similar to Guantanamo Bay.

In a climate of an unprecedented crackdown on dissent, these courageous whistleblowers are taking an enormous risk to correct the lies that government officials have told the world about the secretive and devastating drone program.

Please contribute what you can to support legal representation for whistleblowers who denounce drones. All donations are tax-deductible.

Without whistleblowers, we cannot know the full truth about drones. 

The Whistleblower & Source Protection Program (WHISPeR) at ExposeFacts provides legal representation and aggressive public advocacy to nearly a dozen whistleblowers from inside the U.S. drone program, who witnessed massive waste, fraud, abuses of power, and illegalities, and are compelled by conscience to tell the truth. Click here if you want make sure these whistleblowers can safely tell the truth about drones.



The four drone whistleblowers who came forward did not volunteer for the drone program. When they were all offered bonuses of $40,000 to $100,000 to continue in the drone program,they all turned down the money. One whistleblower explained: “You can’t buy my soul. You can’t buy my conscience.”

Make a tax-deductible donation here to support legal representation for whistleblowers of conscience who condemn the drone program.
