About this ebook
The Pulitzer Prize-nominated examination of the United States drone campaign, and U.S. counterterrorism policies.
On January 30, 2013, President Barack Obama acknowledged publicly what most Americans already knew: The U.S. government was operating a covert drone campaign in Pakistan. Even as Obama maintained policy was for judicious actions only, his own administration was drawing up secret plans to institutionalize targeted killings in U.S. counter-terrorism policy.
The scope of those plans remained hidden until The Washington Post published a three-part series as reporters Craig Whitlock, Greg Miller, Karen DeYoung, and Julie Tate explored how the use of drones moved from a temporary means to kill terrorists to a permanent weapon of war.
Collected together for the first time, ?THE PERMANENT WAR is the result of a year of investigative reporting on the who, what, and how behind the targeted killing policies that will from the core of American counter-terrorism efforts for years to come.

The endless war on cyber information- can bitcoin transactions be traced back for every crime purchased via the dark net? The blockchain is intricate and there's diluted forms of currency exchange that essentially is categorized under money laundering. It really doesn't make sense to make laws that prevent passive ethos pathos and logos from being structured into society. Don't do this or don't do that always opts in for a case of curiosity killed the cat.
