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.

It's the drone. What is the drone?

But, as Death by Drone shows, the US drone program is fundamentally flawed and should not be perpetuated. The Obama administration s recent admissions that its drone strikes killed its own citizens only underscore this fact.

In the meantime, every drone strike will not only undermine human rights and international humanitarian law, but will also further widen a legal loophole that other governments and armed groups will not hesitate to exploit.

The US drone program s legal basis is entirely unclear, however. Given that most information about UAV activity is classified, it is impossible to know whether all drone targets directly participated in hostilities.

And we've done a lot of things, small drone airplanes and so on.

Indeed, according to a recent report by researchers at New York University School of Law and Stanford Law School, the people in the areas targeted by the drone campaign are being 160 systematically terrorized. The drone strategy constitutes a campaign of terror highly effective terror in which even funerals of drone victims have been targeted.

We think we're now at 95 percent accuracy when it comes to drone strikes.
