The US is not at war with Pakistan.
Yet, U.S. DRONE ATTACKS KILL uncountable numbers of people
in the northern part of Pakistan every year
- most of them CIVILIANS.
Ithacans, Daniel Joseph Burns and
James Ricks are traveling to Pakistan as part of
a humanitarian delegation to meet with the victims of drone attacks and
to hear their stories. They will be in Pakistan from October 3-10, 2012, with a group led
by CodePink co-founder Medea Benjamin, author of Drone Warfare:
Killing by Remote Control and facilitated by Shahzad Akbar of the
Pakistani NGO, The Foundation For Fundamental Rights in Pakistan. The
group will also participate in a massive march and rally in opposition
to US Drone Strikes in Pakistan.

Both Danny and James are members of the
Upstate Coalition to Ground the Drones and End the Wars. They have both
been arrested and gone to trial for their beliefs. Danny served time in
jail in December for his beliefs.
