Drone-strike victims want the killing to stop, not transparency and accountability.

Evidence

When you ask Sadaullah, or Karim, or S. Hussein and others like them what they want, they do not say “transparency and accountability.” They say they want the killing to stop. They want to stop dying. They want to stop going to funerals—and being bombed even as they mourn. Transparency and accountability, for them, are abstract problems that have little to do with the concrete fact of regular, systematic death. — Grégoire Chamayou, A Theory of the Drone, 498
