EXECUTIONS BY DRONE KILL 50 CIVILIANS PER MILITANT

"... Obama is the new killer on the block, authorising more drone attacks in the first year of his term in office than Bush did in his entire presidency... for the first time ever, a civilian intelligence agency is manipulating robots from halfway around the world in a program of extrajudicial executions in a country with which Washington is not at war... counter-insurgency experts... decried the toll. Citing a civilian figure of 700, they extrapolated a civilian loss of 98 per cent of deaths or 50 civilians for each militant eliminated.
