Cenk and Ana. A new anonymous whistle blower has revealed more foreign policy secrets of the U.S. military and our drone program. The Intercept spoke to the source to report that the program is used more for simply killing people rather than capturing intelligence. It also revealed that 90% of the targets are innocent people, and how the Obama Admin categorizes unidentified dead bodies from the bombings as “enemies.” Cenk calls it an assassination program that indiscriminately kills tons of people around.

Cenk and Ana. Lamar Odom’s condition has worsened after being found in a coma at a brothel.
