A new report on the secret U.S. drone war in Pakistan says
the attacks have killed far more civilians than acknowledged, traumatized a
nation and undermined international law. In "Living Under Drones,"
researchers conclude the drone strikes "terrorize men, women, and
children, giving rise to anxiety and psychological trauma among civilian
communities."
The study concludes that most of the militants killed in the
strikes have been low-level targets whose deaths have failed to make the United
States any safer. Just 2 percent of drone attack victims are said to be top
militant leaders. We’re joined by report authors James Cavallaro, director of
the International Human Rights and Conflict Resolution Clinic at Stanford
University, and Sarah Knuckey, professor at New York University School of Law
and former adviser to the U.N. special rapporteur on extrajudicial executions.
