Hale was sentenced to forty-five months in prison for exposing just how deadly the US drone program is. Prosecuted under the Espionage Act, when he spoke for the first time he said ... "Forgive me, your honor, I could not, God so help me, have done otherwise.”
The fact he is, is quite a tale
He took some papers from the mail
For journalists to detail
A plot that made the public pale
His whistle blown lifted the veil
On drone strikes in the Afghan vale
But he was handcuffed not given bail
Poor Daniel Hale should not be in jail
Revealing that our drone strikes kill 90% civilians, and he pays the price of 3 years for shining a light on that fact! The wrong person is in jail. It should be those who committed those horrid acts!
