http://www.democracynow.org - Yemeni activist and journalist Farea al-Muslimi delivered a moving plea before a Senate hearing this week for an end to U.S. drone strikes inside his country. Speaking at the first-ever public congressional hearing on Obama's secret drone and targeted killing program, al-Muslimi offered a rare first-hand account of the suffering that drone warfare wreaks on ordinary people's lives. His family's village of Wessab was hit by a U.S. drone strike last week, leaving five people dead. Educated in the United States as a teenager,  al-Muslimi says the drone attacks are turning Yemenis against the country that embraced him.
