About half then marched to [US War Profiteer Richard] Cheney's street, which is nearby, and stayed for 20 minutes, though police kept them from going down his street. Sheehan's 21-year-old son Casey was killed in Iraq in April 2004. She staged a prolonged demonstration outside former [Republican] President [War Criminal] George W. Bush's ranch near Crawford, Texas, in 2005. She called the use of [US] drones "cowardly" and "immoral." She says she is concerned about all military uses of drones but specifically about their use by the [US] CIA in Pakistan. She says [American] drones have killed about 700 [Pakistani] civilians [in Pakistan during 2009]. "They [American war criminals] are actually making themselves judge, jury and executioner," Sheehan said of the [US corrupt/criminal] government officials who decide whether to fire missiles from the [US military/CIA] drones. Among the protesters was a woman who held a sign that read, "Drone bombing is terrorism with a bigger budget", and two Buddhist nuns from Massachusetts [USA] who beat drums and chanted a prayer for peace. Also in the crowd were approximately two dozen people from the group Witness Against Torture [WAT], who wore orange jumpsuits and black hoods. The group has been in Washington all week for demonstrations. Stephen Peterson of North Carolina [USA], a 26-year [US] Navy veteran, said Saturday's protest was his first. "A drone attack is an execution without a trial," said Peterson who wore a T-shirt with his message: "Drones are for cowards." CINDY SHEEHAN and Others Protest Against US Drones at CIA HQ & Cheney's House http://www.commondreams.org/newswire/2010/01/15-13 WASHINGTON DC, USA, 15 January 2010 (InformPress.com) - There is a new peace coalition in town called Peace of the Action [POTA]. http://peaceoftheaction.org Peace of the Action is the brainchild of Peace Mom, Cindy Sheehan, who has been striving to make the concept of peace a reality since her son, Casey, was killed in Iraq in April 2004. "Peace of the Action will be setting up Camp Out Now on the lawn of the Washington Monument beginning March 13th [2010] and this new peace camp will be the launching pad for daily direct actions against the seat of our [US] government - A government [of war criminals, war profiteers, war business contractors, war mongers, oil-gas thieves and dogmatic fanatics] that is involved in so many wars, invasions, bombings and other foreign violence that it is hard to keep track." When asked if it is "legal" to set up Camp in Washington DC, Ms. Sheehan was emphatic in stating: "Camping on the lawn of the Washington Monument has 'questionable' legality but our actions have absolute moral authority; just as the state's actions have apparent 'legality', but inherent immorality." Peace of the Action is sponsoring one event this weekend: SATURDAY, JANUARY 16th [2010]: Protest the murderous [US] CIA drone- bombing program in front of CIA HQ in Langley, VA from 1-4 [pm]. Speakers include: Cindy Sheehan; former Green Party Presidential Candidate, Cynthia McKinney; three-time Nobel Peace Prize Nominee, Kathy Kelly; Debra Sweet, National Director of World Can't Wait [ http://www.worldcantwait.net ] and many others. The protest will conclude with a march to former [Republican] Vice President [War Criminal] Dick Cheney's new home in Langley and an attempted "Citizens Arrest", for the charges of war crimes, crimes against humanity and other high crimes and misdemeanors. Protest American CIA Drone Bombings At CIA HQ Organization Host: Peace of the Action Saturday, January 16, 2010 - 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm CIA Headquarters Route 123 (Dolley Madison Blvd) between Potomac School Road and Savile Lane, Langley, Virginia, USA (InformPress.com) - We [ Witness Against Torture - http://www.witnesstorture.org ] are going to the source of one of the big problems in the U.S. Empire - the CIA - to protest its extra-judicial killings of people in Pakistan. We are against the use of UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) and manned aerial vehicles, but we believe that it is very dangerous that the [US] CIA is becoming overtly involved in terrorizing populations [of the world]. Many of us will be in the [Washington] DC area for the Witness Against Torture vigil-fast from December 11-22 [2009], so we decided to do this protest on Saturday, January 16th [2010]. Speakers: Cindy Sheehan, Cynthia McKinney, Kathy Kelly, Debra Sweet, Colonel (R) Ann Wright, Bruce Gagnon and Joshua Smith.

On January 16th, 2010 from 1 pm to 4 pm activists will descend upon the home of the [US] Central Intelligence Agency [CIA] in Langley, Virginia [USA] to protest the immoral, illegal and inhumane use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs - also known as "drones"). Speaking at this event will be: - Cindy Sheehan (world renowned U.S. anti-war/peace activist and Nobel Peace Prize nominee). - Cynthia McKinney (former six term member of the U.S. House of Representatives and former Green Party candidate for President of the United States). - Hadi Jawad (Pakistani-American and Co-Founder of the Crawford Peace House). - Kathy Kelly (U.S. peace activist, pacifist and author, a three-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee, one of the founding members of Voices in the Wilderness, and currently a co-coordinator of Voices for Creative Nonviolence). - Debra Sweet (Brooklyn-based Director of World Can't Wait). - Bruce Gagnon (Coordinator of the Global Network Against Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space). - Joshua Smith (Anti-war/peace activist, analyst and coordinator). - David Rovics (musician). By some reports the current implementation and planned operational expansion of the strike-capable [US] drone programs in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan have to date yielded up to [100 percent] civilian (non-combatant) deaths. To any sane and honorable person this statistic alone should prove that the "actionable intelligence" and robotic delivery vehicle do not yield a proper basis and/or method for credible attack. The primary and proven case against drone attacks is that they pose a public danger that can only be deemed as indiscriminate bombing. On the day of the event, activists will demand that the United States and its allies adhere to the protection of civilians (non-combatants) in international armed conflicts in accordance with the multiple existing conventions, protocols and customary international laws. These same activists will, of course, also demand an end to the [US] wars and occupations currently under way and an immediate withdrawal of all troops and contractors. Drones operate in the theater of war by being fueled and maintained at airbases within their locale but which are remotely piloted via satellite connected ground control stations half-way around the world and from an environment disassociated with any human connection to reality of their actions. The psychological aspect of this endeavor will ultimately create a false sense that war is easier to condone, safer to conduct and more acceptable in U.S. public and political opinion to initiate. Recently, it has been reported in mainstream media that the United States Central Intelligence Agency [CIA] has been working in cooperation with Private Military Contractors (PMCs - also known as "mercenaries" [such as Blackwater USA (Xe Services), DynCorp International and Total Intelligence Solutions, etc.]) in waging secret operations in utilizing [US] drone attacks. Under this veil secrecy it can only be assumed that impunity for war crimes is being actively cultivated within the highest level of [US] Department of Defense operations via proxy by the Central Intelligence Agency [CIA] (which then sub-contracts out the directives). The most well known [US] drone is the propeller driven Predator A (MQ-1). This drone began as merely a streaming video reconnaissance tool but was soon armed with Hellfire missiles. The United States Military then upgraded the entire drone arsenal with what has become a an even more ruthless killer - the Predator B "Reaper" (MQ-9). With millions upon millions of U.S. taxpayer funded dollars, the Reaper became higher, faster and stronger with increased size and fuel capacity, quicker engagement via a turbo-prop engine and a larger weapons payload/assortment. The Reaper is seemingly a "steroid raged monster" that cowardly stalks its prey. The next evolution is the Predator C "Avenger" which will employ stealth design/materials, jet engine and highly advanced optics systems. Within the oration of the activists at this event the most frightening aspect of future [US] drone programs will be explained and spelled out to attendees and to the press. The three most notable facts are (1) that [American] drone programs currently under development will soon yield a series of UAV aircraft that will operate in a fully autonomous mode (meaning that no human will be controlling the craft remotely), (2) that the UAV program is destined to become the primary type of air power for the U.S. military which will also be tasked with the ability to carry out nuclear strikes, and (3) the use of drones will morph into rapid and various domestic roles as well (operating in, around and over cities of the United States).
