In reply to the discussion: What is your favorite rationalization for the U.S. drone killings of civilian non-combatants? [View all]sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)we even have admissions from the Military, followed by apologies, and then offers of insulting amounts of money.
I posted a link yesterday with some numbers. There is one man in Pakistan who has been going to the sited of drone attacks, eg, and documenting the deaths.
And I'm not sure why you think a drone attack could just kill one or two people and be accurate. They are probably the most inaccurate weapons for several reasons. Eg, in order to identify a person they want to kill, they have to rely on information, often from people who live in the area. Sometimes those people will misdirect the military, sometimes on purpose, sometimes because they are careless.
Just because the US military isn't keeping records doesn't mean records are not being kept. People in other countries value their loved ones as much as Americans do and will try to document any deaths in order to give them respect.
