 Complex reveals stunning details of the government’s secretive and 
 horrific drone warfare program, based on documents supplied by a 
 confidential source in the intelligence community.\n\nDrones are a tool, 
 not a policy. The policy is assassination. Proponents of drone warfare, 
 however, prefer the term “targeted killings.” But drone strikes 
 Frequently kill people who are not the intended target. Unless it can be 
 proven otherwise, the government refers to these unintended victims as 
 “enemies killed in action.” These deaths – all too often of women and 
 children – dwarf the number of actual combatants who have been murdered 
 by drones. They have generated among foreign populations intense anger 
 toward the U.S., and they have become a recruiting tool for 
 jihadists.\n\nJeremy Scahill and his colleagues on The Intercept obtained a 
 cache of classified slides from a source within the intelligence community 
 that provides a startling window onto the Inner workings of the U.S. 
 military’s drone operations. These documents make it possible to begin 
 the necessary, long-overdue debate about this 14-year campaign of targeted 
 killing that has been deliberately hidden from the public, and exactly why 
 it is conducted so ruinously in so many places.\n\nJeremy Scahill, one of 
 the three founding editors of The Intercept, is an investigative reporter, 
 war correspondent, author of the internationally bestselling books Dirty 
 Wars and Blackwater, and twice a recipient of the George Pol Award.  He 
 will also discuss The Intercept, the investigative web magazine founded by 
 Glenn Greenwald, Laura Poitras, and Jeremy Scahill, a publication of First 
 Look Media.\n\nBrian Edwards-Tiekert, host of this one-time event, is the 
 daily host of UpFront, KPFA’s popular hour-long news magazine with a 
 strong focus on state and local issues.\n\nKPFA benefit\n
