US Drone Wars: The Constitutional and Counterterrorism Implications of Targeted Killing

Submitted to the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Human Rights

 

Testimony Prepared by: Robert S. McCaw.

Robert McCaw, Farea al-Muslimi and Noam Chomsky walk up to the Gates of Heaven. Saint Peter looks up from the gem-studded, jewel-encrusted, gilded tome witch conceals the latest edition of Hustler rather in the same manner that a Kardashian conceals not much.

SP: Do you have a reservation?

Chomsky: Do we look like Indians?

SP: Hm. Depends…Hey, if this is a trick question designed to entrap me for racial profiling…

Al-Muslimi: No entrapment required. 

SP slams the book shut, sighs, lights a cigarette and speaks into a small cloud hovering above and to the left of his desk: Gwen? Listen, hold my calls and shit for, oh, I guess 30 , 45 minutes? Make it an hour.  I’ll need to decompensate…

(SP listens)

Uh, yoga. Keeps my Shaktis aligned…What?…..Of course I know what a ‘Shakti’ is..Right;; and Jesus invented yoga like Al Gore invented the Internet…

Al-Muslimi: That’s good!

Chomsky: Wish I’d said it.

McCaw: Or Edward Said – peace be upon him -  wrote the Koran…or

Saint Peter: (Leaps to his feet, upending desk, book, cloud.  Magazine falls out.

McCaw: or Obama wrote ‘Who Wrote the Book of Love’

Al-Muslimi: Wish I’d said that…

Saint Peter: Shut up. Just shut the fuck up.  For Christ’s sake, this is it the Big H…

Chomsky:  Heroin?

SP: (Shakes head.  The question is too stupid to deflect) not a Three Stooges Special. God, why do parents let their kids watch that shit anyway.  A whole lost generation…several.

(Gigantic, thunderous voice off-stage: Because either it’s a single family househoid or else both parents work, or the kids are teenagers experimenting with amphetamines.  Anything else?)
