Oh look an article from 2012 where the author uses the phrase Terror Tuesdays once without source or backing. Edit: Also yeah, the list of targets is decided in a MEETING. How would you do it, via Slack? Or would you empower the CIA to kill whoever they want? Fangz fucked around with this message at 16:55 on Oct 3, 2016 |

i mean, counter-terrorism kills dudes. you have to decide which dudes you are trying to kill. it's not exactly the best thing ever with no moral flaws but iunno why that'd be surprising.

Luigi Thirty posted:https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/782967078424875008 This is actually a pretty fascinating article that gives an in-depth look into the whole counter-terrorism process under Obama, despite Greenwald's silly headline for it. It's definitely worth a read.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:- The Puppies Assisting Wounded Veterans (PAWS) Act to cover therapy dogs and guide dogs for disabled vets. I'm so cynical that I had to look up that this was really what it said it was and not some GOP horror initiative where cute puppies get fed into tax-funded wod chippers. The nickname is tasteless, but holding a weekly conference to identify terrorists that need to be drone-striked seems to be working as intended as long as the US is going to drone-strike people in the first place.

Honestly I find the ethics of drone strikes fascinating and I still haven't reached a resolution on them yet On the surface, the government being able to kill militants via a remote controlled device anywhere on earth is terrifying in the implications of its overreach. On the other hand, these operations would have otherwise been carried out by larger missiles or ground forces which have a much higher chance for human error in terms of casualties. We could always just not kill terrorist leaders at all, but I am not sure that's the best outcome either. I guess the question I wrestle with is, if a drone is the best way of carrying out a dirty action that is wholly necessary, how do we respond to the ethics of that?

The terror tuesdays meetings aren't even about drone strikes, it seems like. From the context it seems clear that it's a general terrorism/security briefing: quote:Mr. Obama is a good poker player, but he has a tell when he is angry. His questions become rapid-fire, said his attorney general, Mr. Holder. “He’ll inject the phrase, ‘I just want to make sure you understand that.’ “ And it was clear to everyone, Mr. Holder said, that he was simmering about how a 23-year-old bomber had penetrated billions of dollars worth of American security measures. This is the only time the phrase is mentioned.
