percent of the destined drone strikes since two thousand and four have been top level terrorist leaders so that's not the actual policy merely to argue. terrorist leader so the alternative to a policy that cavalierly kill civilians used to not have a policy to cavalierly kill civilians the pakistani government is putting new pressure on the us by giving the international media something to report on in terms of their claims about civilian deaths and weighing in on the side of the n.g.o.s and then the researchers if the pakistani government really decides that it's going to stop the drone strikes by just any government can do that and we may be seeing the government moving in that direction. well more expert opinion on the u.s. drone offensive at r t dot com also online human trafficking

those laws date from the cold war they date from the mccarthy era in which there was a fear of communism and socialism and they tried to make it very difficult for a progressive party some particular to emerge here at the green party we have overcome many of those challenges joel stein is on eighty five percent of the ballots yet they're still preventing her from taking part in the debate if you look at the success of the green party despite all the obstacles we face it says that there is a great demand for the greens people vote for the greens here in the u.s. . and ideological warfare becomes part of global culture he would use a lens as a film's helped bring forth a message that america the good guys the audiences around the world. army units are reportedly heading towards a levy in town of bani walid the area which he used to be a bastion of the old regime has been under siege for the last two weeks and saw over a dozen people killed in a standoff with government linked fighters on thursday activists and journalists

nations putting in one nine hundred seventy three resolution in this situation. now drone attacks troops in remote states and analysts hawkish rhetoric top level u.s. politicians maintain all of this is necessary to keep the country safe from terrorism and always to help them imprint the image of the enemy deeper into american mind and hollywood as artie's were mongolian the now reports seized millions of american citizens to be held as hostages hollywood's latest thriller takes movie audiences back to the iranian hostage crisis of one thousand nine hundred seventy nine the plot surrounds a cia mission aimed at rescuing six americans who escaped the takeover of the u.s. embassy in tehran and hid in the canadian ambassador's home the film glamorizes the cia's secret mission to bring those six americans home however the portrayal of a brave american mission with the backdrop of violent muslims is troubling for some
