The Drone Papers, Jeremy Scahill and "Enemy Killed In Action"
The Intercept publishes "The Drone Papers," a series of leaked documents detailing the inner workings of the U.S. military's assassination program. Reporter Jeremy Scahill explains how targets are identified and signed off on by high-level officials, including the President. The documents reveal the use of the acronym "EKIA" (Enemy Killed In Action) to categorize unidentified individuals killed in strikes, effectively masking civilian casualties.
