The Drone Papers is a leak of national security documents published by The Intercept in October 2015[1] on the United States's use of drone warfare.[2][3][4] The leak revealed the bureaucratic process of approving a drone strike.[5] In one five-month period, the primary sources showed that 90 percent of United States drone killings were "not the intended targets".[6]

## Response[edit]

Micah Zenko of Foreign Policy wrote that the Drone Papers "mandate a Congressional investigation" but did not expect one to happen during the Obama administration.[7]
