Drone papers

US spy chiefs hunt the new Snowden: Whistleblower leaks top secret drone assassination program that reveals how 90% of people killed in one 5-month spree WEREN'T targeted

 Pilot-less: The US government began to use drones for assassinations after the September 11 2001 attacks in Pakistan and Afghanistan, but their use has since spread around the world. Seen here is a MQ-1 Predator drone operating in Tikrit, Iraq, in September 2009Intelligence chiefs are hunting for a new Edward Snowden-style whistleblower who has leaked classified details about America’s drone assassination program. 
CIA and Pentagon bosses are investigating after the publication of ‘The Drone Papers’ which includes Top Secret slides on how President Obama authorizes a kill.
The disclosure raises the prospect of a second Snowden-like figure, especially as the leak was published by the same journalists who worked with him before.
But unlike Snowden the single, anonymous source has already spoken out and expresses intense moral outrage over the drone strikes on theintercept.com.
