ACLU Seeks Accounting for Targeted Drone Killings

[billy]

altezon; But your source at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone_attacks_in_Pakistan
... doesn't support any of these claims:

i don't agree that they just be fired into civilian areas where innocent families live (or kids). *** drone dropping bombs on a house that has kids in the yard. or women washing clothes or anyone else other than a terrorist is wrong.

that's an opinion. and if a village isn't a civilian area where civilians live work and play, what is ?

yes, the usa army have admitted it numerous times. weddings schools to many to mention, i never saw it but both sides say it's so, so i'll believe them. i've also seen pics of dead kids and adults in the open. so i'll say yes it does happen.

i put a source below.

altezon said; and it includes a report that UAV's have killed no civilians at all.

"According to Farhat Taj a member of AIRRA the drones have never killed any civilians."

yes and she also believes pigs fly.

Next time read what you cite instead of using the "spray and pray" method.

you mean like this;

A study called 'The Year of the Drone" published in February 2010 by New America Foundation found that in a total of 114 drone strikes in Pakistan between 2004 and early 2010 approximately between 834 and 1,216 individuals had been killed, about two thirds of whom were thought to be militants and one third were civilians.

and this;

On July 20, 2009, the Brookings Institution released a report stating that ten civilians died in the drone attacks for every militant killed.
and heres a source with an apology from the usa army via a general.
source;

Last week, Pakistani and American officials said the No. 2 Afghan Taliban leader, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, had been caught some ten days earlier in the southern Pakistani city of Karachi.

Two other Taliban leaders - Mullah Abdul Salam of Kunduz province and Mullah Mohammad in Baghlan province - were arrested separately in Pakistan about 10 to 12 days ago, according to the Kunduz governor, Mohammad Omar.

The reports gave few details of Kabir's arrest, except that it happened recently.

Meanwhile, the commander of U.S. and Nato forces in Afghanistan took his apology for a weekend airstrike that killed civilians directly to the Afghan people, with a video in which he pledged to work to regain their trust.

In the film, translated into the Afghan languages of Dari and Pashto on a Nato website, a stern General Stanley McChrystal says sorry for the strike in central Uruzgan province that Afghan officials say killed at least 21 people.

the only person spraying it in here is you i'm afraid.
if you wish to antagonise instead of discuss, if you wish to troll instead of debate. feel free. from now on others can respond to you, i have a choice not to and i'll be using it in every single post of yours from now on.

enjoy the forum.
