SEPARATE KILL LISTS



Mark Mazzati tells Jon Stewart that there are two separate US kill lists for Yemen -- one for the CIA and one for the Pentagon.

He has a new book on the CIA called The Way of the Knife: The CIA, a Secret Army, and a War at the Ends of the Earth.

  1. "Targeted killing — particularly the sort carried out by the U.S. fleet of deadly flying robots — is a transactional business." -Assassination ability is a currency to trade fro whatever American empire wants.

    "he U.S. wanted access to Pakistan’s airspace and, it was once hoped, western tribal territory, where al-Qaida operated. Over the years, the U.S. got the former and (rarely) the latter, giving birth to a quid pro quo that spread to Yemen and beyond."
