NOTE: Some of the articles posted below describe John Brennan’s role in, and his disingenuous justification of, drone strikes that kill people in countries with which we are not at war. On May 19, Brennan is not only scheduled to give Fordham University’s commencement address, but will receive a Doctorate of Humane Letters, honoris causa. (George Orwell, hide that smirk.)
What is not clear is the actual causa for the honores. In a new article (URL immediately below), Ray speculates on the possible reasons and reports on the planning by students, faculty, and others to accord Brennan a suitable welcome when he arrives at Fordham’s Bronx campus this Saturday.
