“Thousands of Civilian Deaths” — NYT on U.S. Airstrikes

America’s air war in the Middle East was advertised as the most precise campaign in history. But new investigative reporting is revealing a cacophony of errors. Flawed intelligence and imprecise targeting caused the deaths of thousands of civilians, a number that was severely underreported by the Pentagon. Azmat Khan exposes the true human toll of American airstrikes.
