The Trembling Voices of Those Terrorized by America’s Drone Campaign

June 1, 2012 They belong to those who have – for years – been terrorized by our country, those who continue to be terrorized by our country, those who are bereaved and fearful and paralyzed because of our country.They are voices belonging to drone attack survivors from the village of Datta Khel in the Pakistani region of North Waziristan, voices collected by the U.K. human rights group Reprieve and included in a lawsuit filed against the British government for aiding America’s unaccountable and illegal drone campaign. They are silent, trembling voices – voices we don’t hear often (if at all). Voices I recently encountered thanks to Harper’s. |
