Congressional oversight scorecard: 'There has been mixed success. Increased oversight on war-related spending is encouraging...but there's a lot of room for improvement in terms of civilian casualty reporting'
On the importance of accurate reporting on civilian casualty report: 'A clear avenue for accurate reporting on the effect of U.S. wars on civilians is needed, so is funding for research orgs and support infrastructure for journalists who want to spotlight this kind of reporting’
On growing list of endless wars: ‘The gov’t hasn’t made its case to the American people, especially on the expansion of AUMF which was made without getting buy-in from the public. Americans aren't really aware of why & where our nation is at war’ -
