Counter-Intelligence - Season 1 Episode 5 Part 5 - Drone Nation
On New Years Eve 2011, Barack Obama signs into law (without much opposition) the National Defense Authorization Act—a law that allows the government to detain its own citizens without charge indefinitely, and even murder its own citizens without due process. Case in point was the assassination of Anwar al-Awlaki in Yemen in 2011. This new law then leads to further secret drone strikes throughout Yemen, Pakistan, Somalia, Afghanistan and Iraq directed by Obama and institutions such as the CIA. What direction are we heading in from here?
