Heather: You are omniscient in human life.
And you really are just sort of hovering above their area.
And sometimes watching them for days,
And then you will have intel that - that this person is a bad person
And you will wait until he walks out
Go to the field to meet some friends for something
And you will blow it up. </ P>
Drop fire missiles at him.
Will you have any to drink tonight?
Woman: Uh, yeah water. </ p >
Alright, here it is.
And the bottled water has returned if you want to take one.
Thanks guys, have a good night.
Heather: At first I was interested in the navy
Originally because of the man I dated
It's been in the navy.
And I'm like, oh, maybe I'll just join the navy
And you know, travel and see the world
And fight for my country and protect people from terrorists
And I finally become recruited into the air force
Because I really saw posters with drones,
And I'm like, wow That's so cool "
Like a drone like that really badass
And I still like it under the impression that america
Is it saving the world? </ P>
Like, we are indeed brother and us
Helping everyone. </ P>
So when I see this possibility that I can exit from,
Like this small town I entered, and left Pennsylvania
And - and only travel.
And - and I think so is one only way to do it.
And they don't succeed It looks like you won't do it
Be - it's the only choice of places to go </ p >
Is Afghanistan?
Humans: Titan 1-4 hold your position
What do you have
Unmanned aircraft identify enemy snipers
Understood.
Let's move.
Heather: I entered the previous military
To be at massage school-- I came out two years ago.
I was in air force intelligence.
I flew unmanned aircraft.
I am part of the unit that - we fought in Afghanistan,
And I've lost friends for war
I've lost friends to kill yourself That is part of that unit.
And I've seen a lot of people die in war
So for me I bring it Headache massage,
And only absolute despair.
And memories, like, terrible memories
And along with that is anxiety
Sleep disorders and disorders.
And I think, you know, I come Here I think, unconsciously
Looking for healing for myself yourself.
To be able to search something in learning
To cure other people maybe I can also heal myself.
It feels like slow down motion, and rightly so
Like, you're watching someone just drags
on their own across the field.
When you see someone During those dying moments,
What are their reactions, how they react
And what they do
p>
it's very primitive
It's really raw, stripped down dead.
That's what it is, this is real, like,
This is not - this is no joke.
I have special memories from many people Of those I know I was killed.
But it's very messy and , like, they don't report it to us
Who we kill
Maybe we kill our destination, Maybe we kill that guy
You don't know
And I can say the drone program is wrong because I don't know
How many people were killed.
After us strike me will ask for a break
And, like, go outside and smoke a cigarette and just think.
And like, try decompress and just try
To push, like, that idea I was involved in a murder
People got out of my mind
And I tried not to think about it.
Sometimes if I can't really come out
From a very long situation, I'll just go to the bathroom
And - and fair sitting on the toilet
Like just sitting there uniform, and just, like, crying.
And think just what I did
It's just different emotional response
I mean many times afterwards I will feel just empty.
And if I cry it because I don't know
How do you stop such feelings?
How to stop feeling like a shell and it's empty empty.
And that - I'm as usual Trembling after we strike
Because it's like an adrenaline hurry, you kill someone
You see someone die because of you say it's okay to kill them
Man: This is the future and it's here
Predator, it's just not giving up, not stopping
This will find you, that will hunt you
Man: You entered land control
Station that is your cockpit.
You immediately feel like you're on an airplane.
Man: It's like, having an eagle or something
Above your head, keep going -then land on your arm,
Record what is happening
Woman: Spy in the sky.
Let's see what < br /> they need to see
Man: this is really good feel that you
help people around.
That right why am I Think we all do it.
Man: Being part of the air Strength makes me feel proud.
And people say, thank you.
That's when I remember that I did something bigger than me
Daniel: before I joined the military,
I was very realize that what I will enter
Is that something I want? fight, which I disagree with.
I joined several ways desperate because of me
Is homeless , I am desperate.
I have nowhere else to go.
I am on my last leg, and - if - in the air force
Ready to accept me
I still work in intelligence, as a contractor,
Basically until I go to school on - in the semester fall
And I saw the top secret.
I - that - after you were given a secret secret,
This is good for five years, and then needed
Updated every five years.
And when I leave this job my permission will expire.
Nobody thinks about speaking
Against the government who works for them
And hasn't considered what the consequences that might occur is.
But I don't think of them because I don't - I don't want
This affects my voice.
I don't want it to silence me words, or to limit my speech.
I usually feel like they don't - they are being
Government, they become Department Judgment -
They shouldn't hold up that power over me
That unpleasant threat they will chase me,
By the way the same as they did go after so many people,
Especially since 9/11.
I don't know what I am I'll do until I
Made to the fort bragg, for joints
Special operating command
At that time I didn't really aware
Important or important from the organization itself. </ P>
I - I was only told by some people in the military,
Oh they are, You know, type
Like elite people special ops
You hear about entering video games, and in movies. </ P>
Dan it's actually responsible for the murder
From osama bin sarat
So I will look for targets use intelligence signals,
you know - I was placed on fort meade, which
Where is NSA headquartered?
I have permission for NSA.
I am so - You know , and nsa is intelligence
The directorate handling intelligence signals
So of course I want put in a position,
You know, working overseas at a < br /> intelligence capacity signal
And use technology on buzz through means
From intelligence signals - sorry it's really very difficult
This is very difficult.
And I know the point and that's important for what
I do and, like, I all the reasons to talk at here,
So - but I'm also very unconscious where the line was drawn.
And - so I have to be so very extraordinary </ p >
Be careful what I can and can't say on camera.
- even though something so simple,
And so tame that you don't want Imagine that even from you
Know, this is even a concern there is still - no -
There is no doubt in my mind that if I say the wrong thing,
Or give the wrong type what information about me
Doing that I won't-- that I will be safe
From any prosecution.
Lisa: when I was first going into the military,
I mean, I'm thinking it's a kind of win-win.
That is power for good in the world
I can really help people, I can go to places,
I can learn many things.
There is nothing negative about that
At that time, that is my thinking
Or in my consciousness.
And you know, I thought I would
Being on the right side of history, and today I
Don't believe me.
I work on dgs, a distributed ground system.
As the name implies, I mean, This is a distributed system.
And that covers the world, and it takes data.
Dan it eats a lot, and many, and many, data.
It's global, this get information
Wherever, anytime
Shoot people from anywhere, anytime
And it's not just one people sitting there
With a little remote controls, a little joystick,
Move around the plane halfway around the world
That's not all there is.
It's like a border it doesn't matter again
And there is a big system that stretches
A world that can only suck an endless number of your life
Your personal data
I mean this can grow to get out of control. </ p >
And we are not the only who has this
This will be normal, if not already.
need water? </ p >
This is a secret program, and what that means
Is that I can't just leave shouting from the top of the hill
Telling the public what is that.
What can I say for me,
One person who works In this big case,
If I get this the sentence is very long. </ P>
"sergeant lang is also pioneered emissions security
and accreditation process for four coalition computers
A network that allows exploits 2,400 sorties,
And produce on time and accurate identification
Of the 121,000 guerrillas targets are supported
Operations, iraqi freedom, and freedom eternal. "
And then it continues.
That means that system that I work basically
Identify 121,000 rebel targets
p>
121,000 affected lives the technology we control
And in this case, we're talking about two years.
So it's already how many years have we been fighting now?
At least 12, multiply, add some numbers
And see what is really happening.
Dear sirs, we thank for this beautiful day
Thank you for everything, everything
That's what you have given us.
Bless this food and take care of our bodies. </ p >
Give security to everyone on their journey
Amen.
Dig
Heather: I am an analyst image , and screener.
My job is to watch what happened
In the video - drone - live video of course
And identify everything. </ P>
Other tasks that are far away station - you will
Have a pilot of course - who is flying an actual plane. </ P>
And the sensor operator, who is moving the camera around,
They are the people really pressing the button
I didn't press the button .
I only identified what requires the pressing button.
We can't just bomb someone and fly away
We have to follow up.
The bomb attacks, and waits for to cool down a little.
And then you can see, like parts of the body.
You can identify, Like, it can be
Be the lower part of his body, and it can be a leg.
And sometimes you will do it hold on, and watch -guard
The family enters and gets it.
Or likes, take the parts, and put their family members
In the blanket </ p >
And some people hold it to the corner of the blanket,
And bring him back to their compound
I think mental health records ,
I'm at high risk suicide because of the way
I'm acting about my job.
My psychologist called my first sergeant,
And he recommends it I might move
For anything that doesn't involves watching
People die all the time. </ P>
And first sergeant said that our team is undermanned,
And that they really are need me to do the mission
So he will look inside that, but never returned.
Call my psychologist.
And never gave him any indication
That I will be moved to a better place
Job and I obviously don't.
I keep doing that work until the last possible moment
When do they have to let I get out of the process
Because I'm actually out of the military
So I guess that's the cost of human life
Because of the fact that is so on the suicide watchlist,
And they still don't allow me to do anything else possible
Help me, a little, clearly It doesn't matter to the military.
And that - that shows how much is needed by the air force
About the intelligence forces
Look down the bottom there.
There is ice on the stairs too.
You can know he will do it having a tense day
If he calls me, and he will call me cry, or he will be angry
But then he can't talk about that
And then when you ask him, well you - can you talk to anyone?
Another about that?
Well, no, we shouldn't < br /> to talk to anyone
So he's experiencing more and more problems
Every day things go on.
A mother knows this thing, and then
When you hear your daughter talk to you on the phone,
And you can know that he's in trouble
Only with emotion, and inflection
In that pressure you can hear his voice.
I know him inside problem.
And the only thing I can do just keep in touch with him
Every day, so he feels like he has someone there.
Because I have a feeling that someone isn't there for him,
He won't be here now.
And his friends, many of them being in the same boat with him.
All drinking, all carrying on, trying to forget the pain.
Heather: I & apos; ve-- I just scared, I'm always scared
All those little children just afraid to go out
Woman: Now I want to
To play a clip President Obama,
Overcome our drone war in national defense
University in washington dc. </ P>
President Obama: And before there is a strike,
There must be something close-up, that there are no civilians
Will be killed or injured.
Standar tertinggi yang bisa kita atur.
Yes, conflict with al-qaeda, like all armed conflicts
Inviting tragedy.
But narrowly targeting our actions
Against those who want to kill us
And not those they hide between,
We choose actions
At least it is possible to produce the loss of innocent lives
Daniel: when did the president stand before the nation
And say they did < br /> everything they can to make sure
That is near-certain, it will be
There are no civilians killed, he said that because of him
Can't say the opposite.
Because anytime an action is taken
To complete the target there is a certain number
As expected in that action.
Because it is only after anything
From the dropped weaponry, You know exactly how to
A lot of damage has actually been done.
And often we, the intelligence community,
are dependents
Special operations together command, including cia
Depends on intelligence comes afterwards
That confirms who they are targeting
Killed in that case < br /> strike, or that they are
Not killed in the strike.
Lisa: we all know people die in battle
We all know that.
If not, we are diluted.
The fact is, that these things,
This device can run quite a lot without a hitch anywhere in the world
And bullshit punch.
And there is no single government body about how they are used
And that is something that will promote war, not prevent it.
People really get the impact, besides that
From people on the far end of the
Beaten by this weapon, is all of these new recruits
That goes in
And you know, people who are being affected
What are American children?
People die, everything breaks down, <
And people who are old 18 to 24 sit down and watch it.
How can someone not find it annoying?
Heather: Hearing politicians talking about drones,
Being a precision weapon able to carry out surgical attacks,
For me it's true silly
This is really ridiculous even making the statement.
This is as much as possible be with the people who operate
This is from all over the world.
If they really think they can send a bomb through the window
Compound and hit one militant,
Then why do we see so many civilians
Die because of collateral damage? </ P>
I want to ask those politicians,
Isn't it are they notified of that?
Don't they know what it is? happened in their own war
That they control?
Reporter: Our former drone
Operators and analysts slammed America and British Militaries
For fabrication incorrect information </ p >
On civilian deaths and We lead drone wars, all over the world.
Heather linebaugh has questioned it information accuracy
Collected by drones < br /> "the video
As long as it's not Clear enough to be detected
Militants from civilians."
Former American analyst also says
It dries in us on the battlefield not used as protection
But more as a weapon.
Heather: this is a perfect example of what
It seems, it hasn't changed.
This is probably the best you will get on a good day.
That's why it's very difficult to make that choice
I said there were at least two maybe, maybe kids.
And then one of them escape.
It's like, I care about because of what
I've been - what I have looks like happened,
I fellow veterans and so on.
Like, what do I have Seen to happen to people.
Like, my friends have suffered a lot
I already have many friends It's like, oh, man, I
Can't live with myself for what I did at iraq </ p >
Like, I can't live with myself for the things I've done
And no - this isn't just for myself
Like, this isn't kind of like, self healing things
For me.
Like, I found more self healing through doing
Massage and so on.
This isn't even that therapeutic for me
Every time I do one of these I like it,
I feel bad, because at that time I have to talk about it,
And tell people about it and all kinds of things.
And people consider my story mega important or whatever
And that's - I didn't say this for like,
The importance of myself. </ P >
I say it because I need to say it,
Because I'm the other veteran friend too
Drunk to spend time say what just about that,
Or they don't exist anymore.
Trying to only get people to change the way they see things
And they're like, policy makers don't listen ,
Policy makers don't care
This won't happen change anything
So I'll put myself out there,
Risk of being delayed sort of fbi
Watchlist or whatever to just say
That, yes, the drone program makes people feel bad
Like, basically I say it The drone program can give you
Post-traumatic stress disorder.
That shouldn't be surprising.
And like, for me only say something like that,
And then people say it won't make changes.
"You will be next snow next,"
Its just - it pisses me off.
And it makes me not even want to try <
Because if I'm going to get all of this is horribly awful attention
From like, government and goods, what's the use?
Like, if I end - if someone comes to my house
And puts the bag above me hands and transports me away,
Then what's the point of whatever I do
Am I really changing? people's thoughts
Or people just go to share it on facebook
And then move together? </ P>
I spend all this time
Doing all this stuff and it can also
Absolutely no
Like, I can lead a normal life,
Spend time with friends, spend time with family
And like, I spend all This time for this,
That I don't know if anyone will care. </ P>
And I don't know if anyone will be like , oh, well, let's
Really care about the soldiers in the drone program
Because according to to the left, we
All a bunch of baby killers. </ P>
And according to Right, it shouldn't
Troubled because we don't
Walk in Afghanistan.
Facts exposed are dedicated to support whistleblowers,
Whistleblowing, and independent journalism
Next speaker, jesselyn radack,
It is the director of a national security
And human rights programs in the government
Project accountability
As a lawyer, he is represented
Lots of whistleblowers.
And I will mention just a few them, edward snowden, thomas
Drake, and john kiriakou.
I represent seven people, investigated,
Charged, or tried under cruel espionage actions.
Prosecution espionage acts mostly occur in secret,
And it's been brutal.
I hope that will change.
I hope that the whistleblower is /> protection will be extended
To protect people in national security
And whose arena of intelligence has made all bomb bombs
Disclosure, about war crime, about torture,
About confidential supervision that you have heard
About for the past decade.
Heather: When "guardian" first thing happened,
I was very scared because everyone started calling me
A whistleblower and said like, This is another Edwardian snow land.
And I didn't think I mentioned something classified,
But then they started said like, him
Mentioned his ability.
Well most whistleblowers don't blow whistles
In classification, and if they have access </ p >
To be classified information, they
Able to blow whistle on things
Without ever getting into classified.
And what you revealed it hasn't come out yet
There are bad effects on terrible negative effects
That this happened to the person who actually does the job
And the innocent people are blown up,
And legal reasons are shaky.
I mean all three is the perfect storm
From this cluster-fuck it we just call the drone program.
From Pacifica, this is democracy now </ p >
Americans don't take it strikes to punish individuals.
We act against terrorists who pose
A continuing and close threat to American
And if there is no other government
Able to be effective overcome threats
Anchorwoman: In major address policy on Thursday,
President Obama protects secret drone war abroad,
But said parties unite country cannot
Continue to spend what he is described as unlimited
The global war on terror
Obama's comments come someday after the attorney general Erik
The holders confirmed we drone strike has killed four of us
Residents in Yemen in Pakistan.
President Obama: Simply put,
This strike has saved lives.
Especially America & sos; s the action is legal
We were attacked on 9/11. </ P>
Within a week, congress was very much
Give authorization to use force. </ P>
People will do it defend the drone, and defend
How to use it. </ P>
They always say, You know, they are -
They protect the lives of Americans. Don't put them in danger.
But what they really did was they only encouraged the commanders.
They brave the decision makers because there is no threat.
There are no direct consequences.
They can strike, and they have the potential
Kill this person they are very desperate to get
And to eliminate it because how dangerous it is -
Potentially dangerous - they can do it for us.
But if that happens, they don't kill that person
Or there are some other people involved in the strike, </ p >
And you got killed too, you know,
There are no consequences for that.
When it comes to high-value targeting,
Every mission is to go after one person at a time.
But there are others killed in the attack
Let's just assume that to be associate
from targeted individuals.
So long as they can be enough
Get to know that everyone in Indonesia the field of view of the camera
Is the man of military age - meaning anyone who is trusted
For ages 16 or older - they are legitimate targets
Under the engagement rules. </ P>
If the strike occurs and kill them all,
They only say that they get everything
Woman: Ok, we'll take one more questions for john mccain
Doesn't play have a girl is it military age?
Crowd: Oh, great send her daughter
Yes, how about sending you john's daughter, how about that?
Daniel: People often mix
Rise in anti-drone movements.
Try to say that we should only land drones,
And we just eliminate it drones from our lexicon,
And never let them to exist in the world this.
It's too dangerous.
And I'm not necessarily agree with them
Because of drone to be part of life we
Here soon
They will be - Most likely they
Akan melakukan sesuatu bahwa kita hanya bisa melakukan
With the people on the previous plane.
They will be like dust plants, or plant seeds,
Or are doing humanitarian supervision
For - during floods and disasters -
To try and find victims.
You know, they will be there,
But there is also that other dangerous side
For those who make war is so easy and so
Convenient and very simple.
That the person who has access to technology and access is
For this ability just say, Well, why don't I use this?
It's too easy.
The most disturbing thing about my involvement in a drone
What is uncertainty if someone that I was involved in a murder
Or catch a civilian or not.
There is no way to find out.
Lisa: There's a bomb, they will drop it, it explodes.
What then?
Did anyone go there and ask someone's driver
License?
Excuse me sir, can you I have your driver
License to see who you are? </ P>
I mean, does that happen? </ P>
How can we know? </ P>
How maybe to find out who finally lives or dies?
Woman: Become a person, welcome to the commonwealth club.
We have great privileges tonight has a chance
Talking publicly stanley mcchrystal, who
Has a very distinguished Career 34 years
in American military.
His last assignment is as commander
From international security assistance force
in Afghanistan
No, commonwealth club members,
Join me in welcoming mcchrystal booth
Stanley mcchrystal: Think about today's world,
Dan You can get information from everywhere in real time. </ P>
You can talk to anyone in your organization
In my situation awareness - of what we will call -
We have about 12 screens on the wall,
And they all show operations in real time -
Full motion video we call it.
Like, live broadcast from predator, Unmanned aircraft
Above them.
So we can see every one of our operators
Land in a helicopter, exit a vehicle, move on the target
And because a < br /> system that we have prepared
It works our internet is safe,
We can hear every radio transmission
And if I'm so sitting in Baghdad,
I can hear radio transmissions from attacks in Afghanistan
And if I want to, I can reach down
And talk to sergeant x on the ground,
On destination in Afghanistan.
Now I never did that, but the technology
Now allows you to do that.
So the first thing understands that is deceptive.
It's tempting and cheating because if you see something
In two dimensions, you can that opinion of you
With 10,000 feet, you look at this photo,
You know what happened.
You don't know what happened, you know
What you see in two dimensions.
Lisa?
L -aku-sa?
Yes.
And me -
Continue with the question, please
Ok, so I'm very curious.
I understand that you are a little
Beware of the drone program.
And I wonder what the view of the program is.
Yes, I think the drones are here to stay and they need to.
But you have to understand how do people pursue something
So it's one thing to do something, but that's another one to get angry
A population in the process.
So I think you should do it make a value decision.
You have to say - in each case you have to make
Decision - is it feasible?
Because you will create some bad intentions in the process.
I also think we need to < br> explain to the world better
But again I'm not one of them people who think
This won't be there.
I mean, technology-- - Oh no. </ P>
- no return
That's not - yes, Once out of the bag,
This is outside the bag. </ P>
And it is immoral or moral, but it must be understood. </ P>
And that must happen explained to people,
And it must be carefully used.
I just think it it's important
Well, I just want to say thank you
I read your book and I really appreciate -
Alright - a lot.
- Understanding you - becoming afghan culture,
And all that.
It only touched my heart.
Lisa: One of my neighbors, his name is,
And he was born in afghanistan.
And he went there every year distributing seeds,
And doing humanitarian work.
And willing to take me this year
And that is a beautiful thing.
I am aware that Afghanistan is a dangerous place
I am aware there really is Still a war going on there,
I lost some of my humanity working in a drone program.
And humanity is what is missing there
And seeing this man as a human,
This will be fun just look closely
I miss you.
Lisa: when will I meet People- this person, part of it
Is making repairs for my participation
In that program Big and big weapons
System that kills more innocent people than the actual target
There's no way I can do it redeem or change anything
That I have participated.
But if you have as much as possible
Somehow give back to that country,
That's what I want to do.
Kataku, berikan kedua wanita itu.
Lisa: I want to be able to help even just a little,
By talking to someone who has been directly
Affected by the drone program. </ p >
And ask, what do you need?
What do you want people to hear?
Basically, how can I help?
Because it becomes part of a weapon system can't help,
That can only hurt.
All: Hi!
I'm finally here, sorry about that
My feelings he moved to california is a mixture of emotions.
I feel this an opportunity for him,
But I'm worried about young a woman away from home,
Without family support it can't be close. </ P>
And if he needs help, that's will take time for us
To get help to him.
Ms. Heather: He has episodes at least one or two times a week,
Seeing something, hearing a lot of things.
But it's very difficult for us vets and our soldiers,
And men and women get help.
And with the drone people, they think
That they didn't see the battle because they weren't overseas
And that's not true.
They saw a lot of combat, but no
Requires it to be a consideration
Not only my grandson who has difficulty getting
The treatment he needs.
I know he's trying to get help
And he's having problems finding a therapist
Untuk berbicara dengan karena mereka tidak memilikinya
Appropriate security.
And he's signed in a violation of law
And can be jailed to even speak
For therapists who wrong What really bothered him.
And it made me a little angry at our own government
To put this children through hell
If we put our young people in an environment like this,
We have an obligation to look after them,
To help them make adjustment returns to normal life.
And we don't do that, and that is embarrassing for us.
Jesselyn radack: recent government this
Contact two of whistleblower drones,
Who do I represent
Pemerintah, yang berarti kantor angkatan udara
Special investigation and federal investigation bureau
Contact them, tell them that they are in such a case
From the list of terrorist killings
In Heather's case, my understanding
Is that the air force office special investigation
Contacting his stepfather to deliver the message
It's already known terrorist organization
Has searched for its name.
And on the one hand they say no
Special or immediate threats. </ P>
On the other hand, they are very solutions tailored for heather,
That's what he needs tone down his social profile </ p >
In general.
And that includes writing op-eds,
That includes usage from twitter and facebook
It's not like heather's. It has come out screaming
From the roof around the drone.
But clearly the government is very aware of reality
That he has written about the previous drone
For me it's a blatant attempt by to silence the whistleblower,
And that's no surprise that's what happened
For very few people who have
It's brave enough to be able to speak out against the drone program.
Daniel: when they arrived, that's actually
Just a few hours after I handed over my badge,
And was finishing my last day. </ P>
I got home, relaxed, I have poured a drink for myself.
And someone downstairs knocked on the door,
And instantly - both of them at the door, men and women -
Accompanying fbi badges on my face, pushing me in
To the kitchen, and immediately behind them
Come - I'll say about 20 agents - basically everything
With a gun pulled Somewhere, on body armor.
And at this point I'm very scared
I don't understand what's happening.
By overall, I think there maybe at least 30
The 50 agents enter and exit the house at a different point
All night long, take photos in each room,
And from everything, look for for different things.
Once it's done, they go and I
Bahkan tidak ada telepon pada saya.
So I have maintained the number - one of the agents allowed me
To take the number from my cellphone -
And then I use it to call < br /> my friends are asked to ask them
If they can - if they can help me connect
With - right people who know
How - it knows how to handle with this type of case
Once I get in touch with daniel, we meet in one location
And soon move to another location
And he starts telling me what is going on
And it becomes very it's clear that he
Has become a subject to look for warrants
That's what he brought with him and showed me
And I compiled a lawyer agreement -client -
The temporary - on a napkin so I can provide it
Immediate representation and finally
Able to do a full agreement with him, but he's scared.
Everything we know is so far between me and my lawyer,
I've saved it here.
And at essentially only the warrant
That was issued that day, and the items they took.
And so it was three orders were issued
One for the room, from the house where I am,
And the house itself.
- there is a warrant issued by for me and a smartphone me,
What I might have is mine
There is this - there is one for my motorbike,
And then there is a list < br /> everything they take.
So the point is list for electronics,
And there is a list for papers.
Next is just a explanation of what they are looking for.
So under category 1, "information and documents,
In any format or media original , computer files,
Copies, and manipulated that version
Is owned by United States Government,
Or agent of United States Government,
Including NSA, Nga, JSOC,
Department of Defense, Air Force Department. </ P>
All confidential information, materials, or documents
Defined in 18 uSC 1924.
Become fifth department or body -
But you see them - everything
The place I have worked for
793e, and 130a1, 130a2b, and 1924.
So I have to really do research on that
I should have done it < br>> that if I - if I
More responsible for myself.
But I'm pretty sure, you know, they are all
Only intels in generic blankets. </ P>
These are criminals investigations for espionage actions. </ P>
The espionage action is one of them the most serious accuse you
It can be an American fight level.
It's like, betrayal, that's serious
Because basically it's painting you're an enemy of the country.
And that is David versus goliath struggle
This is one person against all executives
Branches united state government.
And that the type of our strength
It should be to reserve pursue our enemies,
Not after people who is patriotic </ p >
Lisa: We will meet some families who have
Have been affected by the drone war.
I want to respect them, and so I will back.
Because I can't imagine how they will feel like meeting someone
It works on the system that killed their child,
Or kill their members family, or take a limb.
So I'll be back, and
Will be there and talk to them.
Sensors: It looks like people on the back of pickup
One, two, three, on At least five people so far.
Look, this what pisses me off,
Where is this fucking bastard like -
They say on here dgs it is said
Seeing women and children.
They said dgs I should have seen it.
We went to school for almost a year
To be able to identify women and children.
And this is - this is a daily thing.
Where is the pilot and sos and all those creeched
Constantly saying, no no dgs are unlucky,
They don't see anything </ p >
It's all happening it's time, and I will
Must really sit there argue with this dick head,
And ask them to say it bad luck like this for people
That I can't talk to.
Because I don't have access to talk to them.
God damn damn hated creech, because that's how it is
Always trying to kill people.
They always want it blow someone.
And all these officers - the,
Pilots, all these people - looks good on their resume
If they kill more people.
And then here they say that everything should be -
Dgs are supposed to call this
And then they just have blatant lies
That dgs doesn't call any woman or child previous child
Until now about a the hour before that
They killed everyone.
Dan dgs said, just before they kill
They see kids.
I know what - I know what the crew is doing this mission
And it's not in my headquarters, I can say it safely.
Because I remember this - this sign,
But this - this is not - this crew is not - this is </ p >
Dgs is not with me.
But they are ready up the same in terms of
From that person they work,
And that's just bullshit.
There are these things here where
The pilot is typing, " women are carrying small children, huh? < /p>
M Maybe."
And then the sensor operator said, "uh, yes."
If you read dgs transcript - which will you
Maybe it will never be able to grab your hand - you
Will see terms and jargon, specially designed
Make a brief statement and make them possible, maybe,
Or confirmed.
You won't see people say, "maybe it really is
Little boy, "" uh, no know. "" uh, we think so
Maybe a woman. "I can't talk about this
Because it's classified, but now that I have this unclassified
The thing that sits right in front of from my dickheads
Saying all this is about us.
we are the ones who should really try to stop
They are all time bad luck.
You don't need do it stop your own people
From killing civilians.
To big people Afghanistan, al-Salam alaykum.
I have talked to president of karzai,
And apologize to him and for afghan people
I have institutionalized it thoroughly investigation to prevent
This happens again.
We are very sad about this The tragic loss of innocent life.
I explained it to us < br /> strength that we are here
To protect afghan people.
I promise to strengthen our efforts, to regain your trust,
To build a brighter future for all afghans
Most importantly, I Reveal the deepest,
A heartfelt condolences to victims and their families.
We all share sorrow, and we will save it
In our thoughts and prayers.
What did they say?
You know, there are three buses full of people
From this village.
And one of the stories < br /> is that wife
Lost - husband and small child.
And he goes out with the child, and lifts up
and shows the child to the helicopter,
The family caravan goes somewhere.
When he turns around around, it hits.
They not stupid.
They know, they know what exactly
They know what a buzz is know what a helicopter is
They say that the drone is - This is a plane from above,
It has a camera, and they can watch
And look and take information.
They think snort not to attack.
Jesselyn radack: Daniel is in the worst world
Because the government clearly has espionage
Investigating him.
Dan now this sword dam depends on his head,
It could be so indicted every day,
Or many years from now for espionage because the government suspects
that he is a source of information
About the drone program that the government does not
Want to go there.
Daniel: I've discussed with my lawyer
To a certain extent, everything I
Think about this Investigation could be problem.
Lots of it details that I only
Can never talk about films.
But what I'm going to say is that that might happen with the fact
That I am someone who has both worked
For the intelligence community, and who is politically active.
And because of that they suspicious of me -
From my background
When did you move here?
Daniel: August
Yes.
You might remember back Like, August, I called you out
I don't know where, and ask you about - yes
So there long story for that.
I'm fine, but that-that's a little legal issue
No thanks - I just want thank you again for like,
Available
It's really very - like, if I can't catch you,
I will - I don't know what will I do
But-- - yes, anytime
Yes thank you.
But that's all - it's resolved?
It's in the middle solved, hopefully.
But as far as now concerned, I can't talk about it.
Right now it's my biggest His attention - well,
This is definitely not school, even though I'm on school
And basically like At least - the problem
At least I'm focused.
Even though it should be priority number one
I have now, but it's true now I'm just constantly
Above my head and constantly thinking about what I said
And what I'm saying is.
And making sure I don't say something to someone,
Is it a stranger, or someone I know,
Someone I think I can trust, or I know I can't believe it
I'm just - I'm always scared saying the wrong thing,
The wrong time
And I'm always guessing my words wherever I go
I mean, I personally, like, I only live every day of trying
To be more and more comfortable with the idea
That might happen.
That might be what I got charged and I might go
To get a charge of committing a crime.
And that is there maybe a real chance
I have to fight for stay out of jail
I think it's kind of funny - a It's a little ironic too - because that's
Far away I might be the only adult man
In all my family in the media and externally
That hasn't been to prison so far
So I come from a long lineage inmate, actually
Very proud of the tradition of fuck- up
Who is drunk, and goes driving, or sells pots, or, you know,
Bringing a gun when it shouldn't
Be carrying a gun on misplaced, wrong time
A lot of that where - where I come from
But I - I don't know.
Is it scary to think about one day imprisoned?
Yes, I don't have a good answer for that
Because it's scary in prison.
Yeah, that's him
that's a fucking three minutes huh
All clients I've represented -
Even though I have represented them pro bono - we have to involve
Criminal defenders.
And all are owed by law more than a million dollars,
And that usually only goes before the trial starts. </ p >
Million dollars bills, it's not even
Take you through at early trial
So economical price only - no
To mention personally the price of your relationship -
Because you can't be spoken to your friends and family
About what is happening
You can't even talk to - theoretically - a therapist
About what is happening
The emotional costs of are indescribable -
And it's not excessive to say that most of my clients
Who is under espionage criminal investigation -
It's not unusual for to finally be blacklisted,
And go bankrupt, and it's broken.
At least almost every one of my clients <
Who should be taken care of? This has suffered
From severe anxiety, and depression,
And suicidal ideas. <
And in what matter can he actually do to him
He can be imprisoned for decades.
It's kind of - this is a Great day, but good too
Because, like, tomorrow I can get up and not think,
Like, I wonder when I will hear from va. </ P>
Like, that - whether, You know, whatever it is
Decide at least I know that I don't have it
Worrying again.
I'm sure they don't want even know what
My job is in the military.
That will be interesting.
Because - they are, like, if it is a civil company
That they are outsourcing.
So they may be what will it be?
What is it - what is a predator?
What is a reaper?
So it must be interesting, and that might have to be
There are lots of things to do if I don't be my disability -
Don't get
We'll see.
I can see it enough parking.
I don't care about the money.
This about - it's about recognizing someone
Can see terrible things and still need
To talk to someone about it.
And still need to find out how to cure it from that
Without having to get shot, or without
Being in a war zone.
It's about understanding that People see traumatic things.
And that can affect they are the same as
If you are involved in traumatic things,
Because we are all directly < br /> involved in a drone program
Whether people think of them or not
But they will decide that for me.
When I enter I am like - I expect like,
Everything becomes them come up with an excuse
Why don't I have ptsd?
And the man sits , and he is very kind.
And he sits and he like, so I see
In your newspaper, it's It looks like you see
Many things are very terrible.
And he is like, he I have explained
Some of them and stuff, and I started crying.
And he was like, giving < br /> I am a network and he is
Just like, I am very sorry.
And he is like, I am very sorry You have to see these things. </ p >
And he's like, you walk too young for that, you know
This - it's very difficult and we will try to get you
The best help we can get. </ P>
And like, that - he's like you
Knowing that is good you come here
And I'm so glad you see a therapist regularly
And he's like, this is everything
That really can help you.
And he's like, I see a many people with ptsd
And he's like, I promise that won't always be like this,
You know, you will finally have
Days where this is much more easy.
He's like, hopefully, you know, you won't feel it
Like guilty like you, forever.
Daniel: this is true it's hard to - to describe
What that feeling is like.
You know, having that picture in your head, you know, </ p >
Just take live alone - like
This - that's not a good feeling.
This is not something people have to - </ p >
You have to deal with.
And - but even though - but we do it
However, we have that thought Sometimes when we are in place us,
Like, in our darkest place, we have to worry a lot
And the future is uncertain.
And we - you know, we feel guilty of our past actions,
Or something like that.
I'm not sure
Woman: A federal jury in Virginia
It has been proven by former cia officers jeffrey sterling of 9 crimes
Counts, including espionage.
Prosecutors accused sterling of leaking
confidential information for reporters
James rose from the New York Times.
Supporters of sterling were explained he was a whistleblower
But prosecutor claimed he was leaked
Information to complete the score with the agency.
Sterling was scheduled to be sentenced in in April

I was told that they forgive me for the part I played
And what happened < br /> they are amazing
And if you think about it These people are considered,
You know, military age, terrorists, all that,
You can see people's hearts.
I just want people Know that not everyone
A freaking terrorist, and we only need to
Get out of that mindset.
And we need to see this people as people, families,
Community, brother, mother, and sister
Because that's who they are. </ P>
Imagine if this happened happened to us
Imagine if our children walk outside their door
And it's a sunny day, and they are a sunny day afraid because they don't
Know that today that day is something
Will it fall from the sky and kill someone close to them.
How do we feel?
Daniel: I think as an activist will, I especially
Optimistic about the world, you know, for all cynicism,
Dan pessimism get out of me
I think that's when it really came
Down to it you only have - you have love for humanity.
Love for humans beings and each other,
That you believe that there is the possibility of change
And that other world is possible, as they say.
Heather: If I see an article about the drone program
Or something and , like, see how people
Talk about cold hearts killers, things like that.
That's me, like, it's my job
Of course, like, it's still me, that - you are your history,
But if you have it be aware at all, you know
That what you did was wrong.
And you know that the rest of your life
This will be like that.
You can't cancel what he did and you
Can't bring people back. </ P>
So that's something you live in. </ P>
Lisa: we are in United States,
And we joined in the foreign war
War abroad, and we don't have a connection for that
Besides cables, and keyboards.
Now if it doesn't scare bullshit from you -
It comes out of me - because then
One- only connection, why stop?
