Christopher Aaron worked for the CIA on the U.S. drone program. After a while, he began realizing how wrong it is and quit. Finally, he gathered up his courage and began speaking out publicly, despite little or no protection under the Whistleblower Protection Act.
Former CIA counter-terrorism officer Chris Aaron concludes after his experience in the drone program that: “We absolutely are sowing the seeds for the next round of people to hate us.” There is “a lot of guess work” involved in drone targeting he says, and he believes that “we are essentially setting ourselves up for what we would have to call a perpetual war.”
