“9 out of 10 casualties were not the intended target”
“all foreign males in a target zone have been treated as militants”
“defending the right of the US President to assassinate individuals, including US citizens, based on intelligence they never have to make public”

“Where is Congress in all of this…turf war between the CIA and the Pentagon?”
