Weds June 29, 7-9 pm,
at Seattle First Baptist Church, 1111 Harvard Avenue, Seattle;
Countering The Humanitarian Myth: Drones and Endless War
an event to advance understanding and discussion of drone warfare from both political and interfaith perspectives. Keynote Speaker Marjorie Cohn, on “Killer Drones: Immoral, Illegal, Unwise.” “The Bush administration detained and tortured suspected terrorists; the Obama administration assassinates them. Assassination, or targeted killing, off the battlefield not only causes more resentment against the United States; it is also immoral and illegal. This talk will explore the moral, legal and geopolitical considerations of targeted killing and resulting civilian casualties, and evaluate the impact on relations between the United States and affected countries.” Marjorie Cohn’s talk will be followed by comments on drone warfare from a panel of individuals from different faith traditions, and questions from the audience.
Principal sponsor Interfaith Network on Drone Warfare.
Local Co-Sponsors include Western Washington Fellowship of Reconciliation, Church Council of Greater Seattle, Pax Christi Tahoma, Washington State Religious Campaign Against Torture, and Seattle First Baptist Church.
