Re: malala k malal main doobay log !
Telegraph article is very important as it shows bias of people in love of terrorists:
From your quoted report, drones killed 2299 out of that only 775 were civilians (including 168 children) that means rest … or 1524 were terrorists … hmmm … Fact is that the report is dishonestly biased as it quotes maybe earlier figures but most important is that it seems reporter took maximum casualties when civilians is concerned and minimum total casualties making number of terrorists killed look lower.
Actual latest report by ‘The Bureau of Investigative Journalism’ says that … From 2004 to Oct 2012:
Total (independently) reported killed by drone: 2562 (min) to 3325 (max)
Total (independently) reported civilians killed: 474 (min) to 881 (max)
Out of those civilians who got killed, 176 were reported as children.
So, one reporting honestly would quote both minimum and maximum figures. A bias but honest reporter would quote one figure (that portrays his liking most) and that would be either minimum or maximum figure for both. But a dishonest reporter would take minimum figure for one and maximum figure for other to skew the figures to what he likes maximum. Daily Telegraph reporter did the same, showed dishonestly. *.
Here is actual (and latest) article with figures, not by those quoting ‘The Bureau of Investigative journalism’ but from ‘The Bureau of Investigative journalism’ website itself. The article I quoted in one of my earlier post too when replying to ‘hareem01’.

Now, here is the article showing actual figures that was quoted by ‘The Bureau of Investigative journalism’ who disputed the figure quoted by CIA (CIA claims that only 50 civilians got killed by drone).

A picture of war: the CIA’s drone strikes in Pakistan
The Bureau has been recording every reported CIA drone strike in Pakistan. The result is our extensive database which details every known attack and the numbers killed in a covert war that has been bitterly fought since 2004.
Our detailed analysis has found that 344 strikes have killed between 2,562 and 3,325. This number includes at least 474 civilians – though the true figure maybe as high as 881.
So just what do we know? Rather than ask you to sift through thousands of lines of data, we’ve done the hard work for you – and these are the facts we’ve found:
Note: CIA claims 50 civilian death … but Bureau of Investigative Journalism claims around 474 (Min) to 881 (Max) civilians killed in drone strikes]
