The Drone Papers is a leak of national security documents published by The Intercept in October 2015 on the United States's use of drone warfare.[1][2][3] The leak revealed the bureaucratic process of approving a drone strike.[4] In one five-month period, the primary sources showed that 90 percent of United States drone killings were "not the intended targets".[5]
Response[]
Micah Zenko of Foreign Policy wrote that the Drone Papers "mandate a Congressional investigation" but did not expect one to happen during the Obama administration.[6]
