Dem: White House could be more transparent on drone policy

A top-ranking House Democrat says the White House could be more transparent on its drone policy.

Intelligence Committee member Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) tells The Hill that a bipartisan bill he recently introduced would make the administration’s use of the targeted killings more public.

The measure would require the administration to publish the number of individuals killed or wounded in U.S. drone attacks, and whether those individuals were targeted or civilian casualties.
