Documents Expose the Inner Workings of Obama's Drone Wars
An anonymous reader writes: A little over 2-years-ago Edward Snowden leaked a giant batch of NSA documents, Chelsea Manning handed Wikileaks a pile of government secrets in 2010, and now another source has leaked an equally impressive cache of papers focusing on Obama's drone program. The Intercept published the documents covering the U.S.A.'s use of drones to kill targets. Perhaps most eye-opening is the disclosure that as much as 90% of attacks over a five month period hit the wrong targets. According to The Intercept: "When the Obama administration has discussed drone strikes publicly, it has offered assurances that such operations are a more precise alternative to boots on the ground and are authorized only when an 'imminent' threat is present and there is 'near certainty' that the intended target will be eliminated. Those terms, however, appear to have been bluntly redefined to bear almost no resemblance to their commonly understood meanings."Read more of this story at Slashdot.
