Comment Comment by rhino369 >I would love for you to cite where in the Drone Papers it says that the 'unintended targets' were 'foot soldiers' instead of civilians.I didn't imply the Drone Papers said any such thing. I said it's what you expect from a drone program.But while you are on the subject, the numbers in the Intercept piece suggest 10-20% civilians casualties in Yemn and Somalia.And it states that 70% of those occur when there is a targeting fuck up. That suggests that accurate strikes leave relatively few dead civilians. parent rhino369 11 years ago
