What was said
"The vast majority of killing that happens at CIA is non-intimate killing. It's killing that comes from missiles that are dropped from predator drones or cruise missiles that are launched by the US Navy and some sort of joint military operation."
Andrew Bustamante alleges the “vast majority” of CIA-linked killing is “non-intimate”, meaning conducted at a distance via means such as drone or cruise-missile strikes. He also claims the CIA screens recruits early for prior exposure to killing to guide later assignment decisions.
