'US violates international law in Gitmo'
A hunger strike by inmates at the notorious US detention camp in Guantanamo
Bay has raised fears about the condition of inmates who've been held
without charge or trial...the US is being slammed for violating
international law and committing gross human rights abuses...on this Debate
we ask why President Obama has failed to live up to his promise to close
Gitmo.

US drones freely killing civilians
An analyst says Washington's so called 'war on terrorism' is in actual fact
nothing but a permit to murder whoever they wish at times under such a
flimsy excuse as disapproving of the victim's associates.
The comment comes as former top Pentagon lawyer General Counsel Jeh Johnson
on Monday spoke of 'adding judicial oversight to the government's targeted
killing activities' in a speech at Fordham University.
Jeh Johnson said that many Americans now imagine "dark images of civilian
and military national security personnel in the basement of the White
House-acting, as Senator Angus King put it, as 'prosecutor, judge, jury and
executioner'...deciding for themselves who shall live and who shall die,
pursuant to a process and by standards no one understands."
Johnson acknowledged that Washington's so called 'anti-terror' targeted
killing program, once a campaign bragging point for Obama, now "risks an
erosion of support by the people."
Press TV has conducted an interview with international lawyer, Edward
Corrigan, in Ontario to further discuss the issue.
