War Costs has produced a video and report on the topic.
Please consider joining us in our appeal to leaders of the U.S. House of representatives to bring Rep. Dennis Kucinich's bill, H.Res. 819 -- which calls for more accountability and transparency for U.S. drone policy -- to the House floor this month for debate and a vote.
