Are you suggesting Andrew Cockburn is intent on carrying out dronestrikes in America based on vaguely defined lifestyle patterns?!
>monitoring a target area, it has been declared all Military Aged Males in the area are hostile
>Spot a convoy of trucks in the target area
>Screeners, who are not in the same room as the drone operators but in another base in Florida, who cannot communicate with them directly but through a third person typing away on IRC of all fucking things, analyze it and determine it contains MAM
>Well they're guilty already.
>The convoy drives into the night, they flash their cars at a passing truck.
>Thats a signal.
>There is a vague blob identifiable on the IR in one of the trucks.
>Thats a rifle.
>One of the screeners thinks there might be an adolescent in one of the trucks.
>What, like 13 years old? Cause a 13 year old with a rifle is still dangerous.
>In the morning they stop to pray and wash.
>Thats what they do before an attack.
>They are now driving away from the target area.
>They are maneuvering to outflank our troops!
>Time to go kinetic!
>When the dust has settled the survivors emerge.
>They don't run. They wave their cloaks at the sky signaling you.
>They are women and children and old men.
This isn't a collection of anecdotes. This is a specific event and those are specific quotes taken from the operators transcript that opens the first chapter of Kill Chain.
The process of targeting and "lifestyle patterns" starts off by declaring every male aged 16-50 as a hostile Military Aged Male, declaring everyone in a target area hostile - like the "free fire zones" of Vietnam - and then interprets all actions to that narrative.
The operators are trained to a "top gun" attitude eager to 'go kinetic'.
And all deaths are automatically catalogued as Enemy Combatant Killed in Action guaranteeing a 100% success rate unless later contradicted by independent journalists making civilian deaths public.

>When the topic of conversation came around to ways of defeating the bombs, everyone was in agreement. "They would have charts up on the wall showing the insurgent cells they were facing, often with the names and pictures of the guys running them," Rivolo remembers. "When we asked about going after high-value individuals and what effect it was having they'd say, 'Oh yeah, we killed that guy last month, and we're getting more IEDs than ever.' They all said the same thing, point blank: '[O]nce you knock them off, a day later you have a new guy who's smarter, younger, more aggressive and is out for revenge.'"
