since the link to the orginal article as well as the picture (as well as about 17 other sources that carried this article) have been deleted here is an updated one since i can't edit I will post it here (with a few mirrors)

the article clearly states:
We simply don't know how many drone attacks there have been but we do have some estimate of how many civilians have been killed so saying they haven't killed any at all is wrong we know they've killed atleast 35 civilians in 2012 alone and the real numbers are probably much higher

the article clearly states:
Quote:the United States acknowledges its drone program in Yemen, it does not confirm individual strikes or release information on how many have been carried out
Determining civilian deaths is even more difficult. The Long War Journal says it has confirmed 35 civilians and 193 militants killed by American strikes in 2012
