Harvard’s Human Rights Strategy: Targeted Assassinations

by Stephen Diamond on October 25, 2009 · 0 comments

Sometimes there are no words.

This from Tyler Moselle the Acting Director of Harvard’s Human Rights Center:

Al-Qaeda is a transnational terrorist movement that inspires individuals in a decentralised fashion. It is not solely located in Afghanistan. If the goal is to destroy it, then Mr Obama must create a strategy geared to head-hunting individuals in multiple countries.

I wish this were mere fantasy as far as Obama is concerned but a key advisor to Obama now is Anne Marie Slaughter, who was at Harvard Law School when she made a similar recommendation in the wake of 2001.

FT.com / Comment - Obama must shift the debate about a troop surge.
