NO ANDA la izquierda estadounidense muy contenta con el nombramiento de John Brennan como director de la CIA; lo llegan a llamar "el Cheney de Obama", y eso debe de doler...
Por cierto que estos datos son muy, muy ilustrativos:
First, it is important to understand the scope of what Obama has authorized in comparison with his predecessor. Since Sept. 11, 2001, there have been an estimated 393 targeted killings -- in Yemen, Pakistan, Somalia, and the Philippines. (President George W. Bush also authorized an October 2008 raid six miles inside Syria to kill Abu Ghadiyah, an Iraqi-born senior operative of Al Qaeda in Iraq, as well as several of his bodyguards and several civilians.) Under Bush, there were roughly 50 targeted killings; under Obama there have been 343 in less than half the time -- 95 percent of them by Predator or Reaper drones. At least 2,000 people have been killed by U.S. targeted killings since Obama entered office.
(las negritas son mías). Pero tranquilos, aquí los defensores de los derechos humanos no dicen ni mú.
