DESCRIPTION:$20.00\n\nPresident Obama staked his first presidential campaign on a 
 principled opposition to the Iraq War and a restrained, humble view of the 
 use of US power abroad. However, looking back on the past eight years, the 
 same administration has also quietly grown the US drone program, with 
 bombings in Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq and Libya. 
 The vast expansion of the armed drone campaign will go down as one of 
 President Obama’s enduring foreign policy legacies.\n\nJameel Jaffer, 
 renowned civil litigator, led the ACLU legal team that fought for the US 
 government to release the documents underlying the government’s legal and 
 policy framework for its drone program. Now, Jaffer evaluates these 
 “drone memos” in light of domestic and international law. He connects 
 the documents’ legal abstractions to the real-world violence they 
 sanction, and makes the case that we are trading core principles of 
 democracy and human rights for the illusion of security.\n\nHas the drone 
 war program spun out of control? How much power should the executive branch 
 have to carry out these targeted killings via armed drones? What can we 
 expect as President Trump assumes the power and precedent of Obama’s 
 drone war program?\n\nSPEAKER:\nJameel Jaffer\nDirector of the Knight First 
 Amendment Institute, Columbia University and former Deputy Legal Director, 
 ACLU\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2017/01/25/18795782.php
