US press: “In the Pentagon’s secret papers, massacres of civilians in raids in the Middle East”

NEW YORK – A massacre of civilians, especially children. What should have been the most precise air military campaign in history has betrayed expectations: wrong intelligence information and imprecise and hastily chosen targets have caused thousands of deaths among the civilian population. And no one in the American military ranks paid. An archive of Pentagon hidden documents on the Middle East air campaign since 2014 – of which the New York Times has seen – reveals a very different reality from that painted by US governments, which for years have been talking about precision wars with drones and targeted bombs.
