Clinton approved CIA drone assassinations with cellphone

[susano]

An explosive new report reveals just what it is that the FBI is looking to: emails in which then-Secretary of State Clinton approved CIA drone assassinations in Pakistan with her cellphone.

From 2011 on, the State Department had a secret arrangement with the CIA, giving it a degree of say over whether or not a drone killing would take place.

The U.S. drone program has killed hundreds of civilians in Pakistan and other countries.

Under Sec. Clinton, State Department officials approved almost every single proposed CIA drone assassination. They only objected to one or two attacks.

The issue of drone strikes and innocent people getting killed aside (we know all that), why in the hell are the SoS and staff, apparently, approving military strikes? And, why is this done by the CIA and not the military? Why isn't anyone asking these questions? If the military delegates acts of war to other agencies, when will the Department of Commerce, for instance, be approving drone strikes?

Disturbing stuff.
Per the article the State department requested approval from the CIA due political backlash in Pakistan. Remember, they're ostensibly our allies, and the CIA kills people there without notifying their government.
Its only a few steps now, from a fully automated system. Global ID tags installed in all humans. Do something the state doesn't like => your ID is fed to a computer that tracks your location via cellphone, tracker, facial recognition => location fed to drone => you're dead.

And from the article:

“People claiming emails on Hillary’s private server were not classified do not understand how classification works,” Scahill added. “It’s an HRC talking point.”

“It’s acceptable to mishandle classified info on your bathroom server and share classified info with your mistress, just don’t blow any whistles,” he quipped

Whose mistress do you suppose he was talking about?
