1 check for “Chris Murphy”

Chris Murphy, Senator (D-Conn.)

“Studies of our drone strikes have suggested that maybe eight out of 10 times we are hitting the wrong target, we have killed thousands of civilians.”

Washington Post rated this: Three Pinocchios

Washington Post says: Murphy is wrong to claim that “studies” show that 8 out of 10 times U.S. drones have hit the wrong target. He’s talking about the supposed track record during a five-month period in a region of Afghanistan 10 years ago.
