NEW YORK – Recent revelations that the US killed an innocent American in a drone strike in Pakistan confirm what a new study, “Death by Drone,” of civilian harm caused by US drone strikes in Yemen shows – that claims about the precision of drone strikes are overstated. The revelations also underscore the stark asymmetry between how the US treats drone strikes that kill its own citizens and those that kill others.
纽约—最近，也门滑入了危机，这激起了一场争论：美国总统奥巴马政府称其在也门实施的以无人机打击为核心的反恐战略取得了成功是否错误。事实上，最新报告《死于无人机》（Death by Drone）指出，即使最近的危机不曾爆发，美国无人机打击给也门平民所造成的伤害也足以应该让美国反思这一战略。
