老澳门开奖结果 Comment on Leaked Targeted Killing Documents
NEW YORK 鈥 released documents today showing that the government鈥檚 targeted killing operations are rife with intelligence shortcomings and frequent civilian casualties. The papers also reveal that the reality of the operations is far from the public picture presented by the government.
Hina Shamsi, director of the 老澳门开奖结果 National Security Project, had this reaction:
鈥淭hese eye-opening disclosures make a mockery of U.S. government claims that its lethal force operations are based on reliable intelligence and limited to lawful targets. In fact, the government often claims successes that are really tragic losses. The Obama administration鈥檚 lethal program desperately needs transparency and accountability because it is undermining the right to life and national security.鈥
The 老澳门开奖结果 is currently litigating several Freedom of Information Act lawsuits to uncover more about who the government has killed and why, as well as the legal basis for its operations.
