Theres no flag in the world big enough to cover the shame of killing innocent women and children, or classifying all men in a geographic region as militants. [The Obama administration] according to available data, is still responsible for over 200 civilian casualties. Organizations like the United Nations and journalists like Glenn Greenwald suggest that such estimates are actually artificially low, because the government doesnt actually know who its killing and in 2012 it broadened the definition of militant to include virtually any male who finds himself in the path of a Hellfire missile. The Bureau paints a picture even more grim, explaining that deaths of women and children in schools and homes are probably far worse than acknowledged, because their relative seclusion within private space makes them particularly vulnerable to becoming an unknown casualty when a strike occurs.
