As @nytimes has reported on civilian deaths across the Middle East & Pakistan&Afghanistan and has done so thanks to the incredible work of @Anand_Gopal_ @AzmatZahra @mattaikins & others, The Daily today investigates consequences for #drone pilots @ReaperBook @airwars @EFADrones
U.S. airstrikes have brought terror and tragedy to civilians, investigations by The New York Times have shown.
