90% of those killed by U. S. drone-based assassinations were not the intended targets

""The CIA and the U.S. military’s Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) operate parallel drone-based assassination programs," "However, documents detailing a special operations campaign in northeastern Afghanistan, Operation Haymaker, show that between January 2012 and February 2013, U.S. special operations airstrikes killed more than 200 people. Of those, only 35 were the intended targets. During one five-month period of the operation, according to the documents, nearly 90 percent of the people killed in airstrikes were not the intended targets. In Yemen and Somalia, where the U.S. has far more limited intelligence capabilities to confirm the people killed are the intended targets, the equivalent ratios may well be much worse."" (thanks Amir)
