"I speak on behalf of those innocent victims"

This is an amazing woman who stands up for those who have no voice. Who stands up for what neither the Republican nor Democratic party is willing to accept, that our interventionist policies, that our killing of people overseas, including American citizens, is making us less safe, is horribly immoral, and is unpatriotic. It is not what the founders wanted, and it is not in line with the tenets this country was founded upon. This brought a tear to my eye.

                                        --EXCUSE ME, BUT I SPEAK ON BEHALF--
"Excuse me, could you please talk about the innocents killed by the united states, what about the hundreds of innocent people we are killing by our drone strikes in Pakistan, and in Yemen, and in Somalia. I speak out on behalf of those innocent victims, they deserve an apology from you Mr. Brennan, how many people are you willing to sacrifice? Why are you lying to the American people and not saying how many innocents have been killed? I speak out on behalf of Tariq Aziz in Pakistan who was killed because he wanted to document the drone strikes. I speak out on behalf of Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, 16 year old born in Denver, killed in Yemen, just because his father was someone we don't like, I speak out on behalf of the Constituion, on behalf of the rule of law, I love the rule of law, I love my country, you are making us less safe by killing so many innocent people around the world, shame on you."

The speaker continues after the woman protester is escorted out of the conference room,
"Thank you, ...more broadly, Al Qaeda's killing of innocents, mostly men, women, and children, has badly tarnished its appeal and image in the eyes of Muslims around the world."

After making her heartfelt appeal, the speaker continues, citing the backlash occurring against Al Qaeda for their killing of innocent people. The irony of this statement, after her speech of how the drone strikes "are making us less safe" is beyond ironic. It is eerie, foreshadowing, ignorant, blind, disgusting. I do not know what it is other than a tragedy. Below is the story of Tariq Aziz, the person the protester cited in her speech.

Tariq Aziz, a 16-year old boy, attended a meeting in Pakistan opposed to the drone attacks in their area. He volunteered to learn photography so he could document the drone strikes impact on the area. He was killed as he rode in a car with his 12 year old cousin. Source, Source. "For every 10 to 15 people killed" by American drone strikes in Pakistan, "maybe they get one militant." Says a man who documents drone strikes occurring in Waziristan.
