DESCRIPTION:Washington doesn't like to talk about its use of military drones very much. 
 No wonder: they just might be illegal under U.S. and international law...to 
 say nothing of the Administration's so-called "targeted killing" program 
 and its insistence that even U.S. citizens are legitimate targets of 
 warfare from afar.\n\nSo-called experts who have examined drone technology 
 tend to have a common thought about it: Drones, whether military or just 
 for surveillance, are here to stay and we should get used to the idea of 
 having them. From both a military/security and civil liberties standpoint, 
 some folks will beg to differ.\n\nTo address the matter of drone warfare, 
 on Monday May 13 Paul George, Director of the Peninsula Peace and Justice 
 Center, will be the guest of Peace Action of San Mateo County with a talk 
 entitled "Joystick Warfare - On the Legality and Morality of Combat 
 Drones."\n\nWe are honored to have Paul reprise the presentation he gave in 
 Cupertino April 16. In this forum, we will take a look at the U.S. drone 
 program: Where and how often are drones being used to launch missiles? Who 
 are the targets? And who is actually being killed by the drones? Most 
 importantly, he'll raise the question: Should our country be using combat 
 drones in its citizens' names?\n\nPaul George has been an activist and 
 grassroots organizer for peace and human rights for over 45 years, and has 
 also been PPJC's director since the mid-1990's. He is a highly regarded and 
 frequent public speaker (including at various PASMC events over the years) 
 on a range of topics. In the course of his career, Paul has traveled to war 
 zones to witness firsthand the profound effects of U.S. foreign policy on 
 ordinary people. On May 13 we will be honored to have his expertise and his 
 commitment to peace.\nThe UUSM is wheelchair accessible.\n
