After years of warning that President Obama’s targeted killing program flirted with lawlessness, the United Nations has announced it’s investigating the centerpiece of the U.S.’s shadow wars worldwide.
The inquiry will be led by Ben Emmerson, the U.N.’s special rapporteur for human rights and counterterrorism. It’ll focus on most of the places that the U.S.’s armed drones and elite special-operations forces operate: Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia; as well as in the Palestinian territories, indicating that Israel’s targeted attacks on Hamas will be a subject as well.

So what if they find him guilty of anything? What will they do about it? Could you imagine any other nation trying to arrest the U.S. president for crimes? Love or hate our president I doubt anything will ever come of this. If so George W. would already be in prison for war crimes.
They can investigate until their hearts are content but nothing will be done about it.

Very true.
If nothing else, maybe it might awaken a few more Americans to what is happening.
They are dishonourable weapons and should have no place in modern armed forces.

They are that.
Also smart bombs used against tribesmen carrying a rifle on horseback is a bit cowardly too, but the old saying that 'All's fair in love and war' still holds true.

So the UN is trying to make it look like they haven't been in bed with the US for so long that they have matching bedsores? This is new. Or maybe this is what they call "counterintelligence".
