Why is it the job of journalists and not the U.S. government to do a full accounting of civilians killed in its airstrikes abroad? A new @NYT investigation by @AzmatZahra reveals how the U.S. hid thousands of civilian deaths.

While reporting on U.S. drone killings of civilians, @AzmatZahra found she was doing legwork the military hadn’t. "You have to ask," she says: "How serious are [they] about accountability?"

Mehdi, your focus is mostly USA internal politics since you moved on from Aljazera. We still love to watch your programs on international issues.

It was a tragic event like many before it but before you demonize Drone strikes altogether, how many more lives were saved because of successful drone strikes against Al Qaeda, ISIS and the Taliban? That being said, yes there should be accountability but easy on the pitch forks.
