In the 1980s, Nelson Mandela along with the African National Congress were listed as terrorist threats according to the United States. This means that if our predator drone technology had been available over 30 years ago, that our nation could have very well been responsible for assassinating one of the most transformative and influential people of a generation. Take just a moment and think about that. Over the past twelve years, we have given up far too much power to the executive branch of our government. We cannot continue to define our country as being in a perpetual state of war in which the routine rules of justice and morality no longer apply. The next Nelson Mandela of the world may already be in our crosshairs.
