Do you think these drones are being intentionally used to kill innocent people and covering up the real truth in these war torn countries? They should investigate this in real depth.

I agree with the intended goal. The results, not so much. And the rationale, less so. Investigate, and come up with recommendations for how to either get back on task properly, or a less problematic method.

In an actual war, who can object to drones? They are probably more accurate in targeting than regular airplanes, they don't put pilots at risk, and they no doubt allow for much better planning and coordination. What's a real problem, IMHO, is that they also see, to encourage this government to use them whenever and wherever they want, abroad and at home. How would we like it if some foreign government sent drones over our cities to shoot at will? Or to spy? But we seem to think that we can do it any time we want.

That's my point. The goal to kill bad guys almost surgically = good. The less than surgical results we've seen = not so good. And the rationale, which has a certain intelligence-gathering bent = scary.
What's needed is a drone spotter smart phone app that detects the camera and feeds an image of your bare ass to the optical receiver. It might be called iMoon.

Well there is the war on terror - not sure what they call the Taliban ? maybe they are lumped in with the terrorist as well ? After all their own people voted them out twice.
better planning and coordination.
Of-course alway better. I am surprised of what they have now for information. No one says but I assume they expect a certain percentage of collateral damage with each strike ?
To many civilians are being killed in these countries like Pakistan, Afghanistan, and others.They said they are shooting down their intended targets but to many mistakes are being made.
