The report also casts doubt on Obama’s other claims, with evidence indicating that targets of drone strikes, though perhaps posing a threat to Yemen, may not have posed a direct threat to the US, and that their capture may have been possible. In other words, Yemeni civilians have suffered and died from drone strikes that may not have been necessary.
报告还质疑了奥巴马的另一个说法。报告提出证据证明，无人机打击目标——尽管他们也许给也门造成了威胁——未必对美国造成直接威胁，并且捕获他们也不是没有可能。换句话说，也门贫民因为未必需要的无人机打击而遭遇伤亡。
