Joel Swagman (Reviews / TESOL)

I use this blog for two different projects: my reviews and my materials for Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL).

Friday, August 06, 2021

I found this article really disturbing: 

Daniel Hale Went to Prison for Telling the Truth About US Drone Warfare
Daniel Hale’s revelations about the brutalities of US drone warfare didn’t harm any Americans or make them less safe. But his prosecution for whistleblowing and recent sentencing to nearly four years in prison was a blow against democracy.
