Iran’s Khamenei says US supporting terrorism
Truthdig

U.S. leaders got a dose of their own medicine Saturday when Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, called them out for supporting and practicing terrorism in the Middle East and beyond.
The official, political designations of such words as “terrorist” and “freedom fighter” given to militants fighting at home and abroad often reflect national interests, of course, with leaders of many countries, including the U.S., speaking and behaving as if their soldiers can do no wrong. Such glaring, self-interested bias naturally merits an examination of the facts. In Pakistan, for instance, research by The New American Foundation, a Washington, D.C., think tank, puts the total number of people killed by U.S. drone attacks between 2004 and 2011 as high as 2,464, with about 20 percent of them thought to have been civilians.
