New whistleblower steps forward: The Drone Papers
On Friday, October 18th, the Intercept released The Drone Papers, a series of secret documents providing previously unknown insights on the inner workings of drone warfare including the startling revelation that, “nearly 90% of people killed in airstrikes were not the intended targets...”
The Intercept came by the documents courtesy of a single, currently anonymous source. Similar to Chelsea Manning, this whistleblower was moved to act by their conscience.

Daniel Ellsberg told the Guardian, “I waited 40 years for Chelsea. Three more for Snowden. And so it’s
wonderful that somebody is telling the truth about this series of
crimes. I’m very glad to see it.”
