Medea Benjamin, co-founder of Code Pink and Global Exchange, presents from her recently authored book, “Drone Warfare: Killing by Remote Control”. She will discuss who controls these drones, where they are being used and the legal and moral implications of drone warfare by the US government. Her presentation will also cover what activists are doing to stop the killing by remote control.

This presentation is sponsored by WNC Veterans for Peace, Chapter 099.

“In this remarkably cogent and carefully researched book, Medea Benjamin makes it clear that drones are not just another high-tech military trinket. Drone Warfare sketches out the nightmare possibilities posed by this insane proliferation.”
-- Barbara Ehrenreich, author of Nickel and Dimed

“Activist extraordinaire Medea Benjamin has documented how the U.S. government’s use of drones to murder hundreds of innocent civilians in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen has increased the danger to our national security. Benjamin’s Drone Warfare is the first book that reveals the vocal international citizen opposition that challenges the legality and morality of America’s extrajudicial execution drones before they kill here at home.”
-- Ann Wright, U.S. Army colonel (ret.) and former deputy chief of mission for U.S. embassies in Afghanistan, Uzbekistan and elsewhere
