Off the top of you head from what you remember hearing on the news, and without looking up information on the internet tell me what the death toll is for non combatants killed as a result of drone strikes?
How do those links compare to what is stressed on major news outlets? The NYTimes link is an opinion piece from a Twitter and the hyperlink address clearly states what it is "room for debate" not NYTiimes front page news. The
"Bureau of Investigative Journalism" is an independent not-for-profit organization not a major news outlet. PBS only show that the Obama administration is reporting a number less than claimed by human rights groups -- so much for Obama's adminstration transparency. The Washington Post mentions the rate of "unintended death" was obtained through
leaked intelligence documents suggesting that information was secretive. They leak "secrets" they don't leak common knowledge.
Show me where CNN harped on this to the point where Obama's approval rating dropped.
While on the subject of drone attacks:
