UG#706 - When Are Terrorists Not Terrorists? (States assassinating by drones)

We focus on drone technology, looking at the relationship between language and law.

Plausible deniability is only needed if people are in a position where their actions are subject to informed questions. The core of this week's show is made up with a set of speeches from a 2015 meeting about the use of drone warfare, introduced by Bruce Gagnon and augmented by SAS whistleblower, Ben Griffin and a few classic words of Chris Hedges on how war affects its participants.
