>Yeah, Americans sleep when they hear 90% of drone attack deaths are civilians:

No, 90% of the drone deaths weren't known indented targets. If you bomb a Taliban camp to kill a known Taliban leader, you are going to kill a lot of people, but they aren't going to be mostly civilians.

Sure some of them are civilians who were in the wrong place at the wrong time. But that's legal under international law and essentially unavoidable in war.

You could argue that maybe America is aiming at targets without any regard for who surrounds them, but that you can't use that 90% figure to do it. And I also believe that you'd be wrong.

Great justification for extrajudicial state-sponsored murder. Non-congress authorized war makes it okay. Gotcha.
