Stephen,
Thanks for encouraging me to drop down a Wikipedia hole.
Somehow I was interested in this data found on the Drone Strikes in Pakistan
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone_strikes_in_Pakistan> page:
The Bureau of Investigative Journalism
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bureau_of_Investigative_Journalism> estimates
the following cumulative statistics about U.S. drone strikes (as of 17
September 2017):[20]
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone_strikes_in_Pakistan#cite_note-BOIJ-20>
- Total strikes: 429
- Total killed: 2,514 – 4,023
- Civilians killed: 424 – 969
- Children killed: 172 – 207
- Injured: 1,162 – 1,749
- Strikes under the Bush Administration

- Strikes under the Obama Administration
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obama_Administration>: 373
- Strikes under the Trump Administration

A formerly classified Pakistani government report obtained in July 2013 by
the BIJ shows details of 75 drone strikes that occurred between 2006–09.
According to the 12-page report, in this period, 176 of the 746 reported
dead were civilians.[61]

According
to the Long War Journal, the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, and the
New America Foundation, 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009 had some of the
highest civilian
casualty ratios <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilian_casualty_ratio> of
any years.
