Obama Has Killed More People with Drones than Died On 9/11 Washington's Blog
Many Civilians Are Being Killed By Drones
Law school teacher Marjorie Cohn – president of the National Lawyers Guild – writes:
Obama has killed more people with drones than died on
9/11. Many of those killed were civilians, and only a tiny percentage of
the dead were al-Qaeda or Taliban leaders.
She may be right …
The Council on Foreign Relations estimates that U.S. drone strikes outside of Iraq and Afghanistan have killed 3,674 people.
The Bureau of Investigative Journalism reports that up to 4,404 people have been killed – just in Pakistan and Yemen alone – between 2004 and 2014.
