Ralph Nader: Obama’s drone program violates international law

 

Since President Obama took office in 2009, it’s estimated that the U.S. drone program has killed more than 3,000 people in counter-terrorist strikes in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia, all ordered without due process or judicial oversight.

Drones are unmanned and operated by remote control from the U.S.

On April 27, the Yale Law School presented a panel discussion titled, "Thinking About Drone Warfare."

Sitting in the audience was Ralph Nader, a graduate of Harvard Law School who excoriated his alma mater for not adopting a more critical attitude toward the use of drones and for failing to condemn the practice.

Melinda Tuhus from Between the Lines Radio spoke with Ralph Nader after the forum. (audio below)
