A new interactive graphic, which uses the Bureau’s drone data, has
brought a fresh perspective to the CIA’s nine-year drone campaign in
Pakistan.
A team of developers has pulled together every known drone strike and
casualty from data provided by the Bureau and New America Foundation.
This data has been represented in an interactive timeline which allows
the viewer to see how the campaign builds over time, as well as the
number of people killed.
The project, Out of Sight, Out of Mind,
aims to capture the scale and human cost of the drone war in Pakistan
through its visual representation of the CIA’s covert Pakistan drone war
from the first event in 2004 to the latest strike.
Wesley Grubbs,
who leads the team at Pitch Interactive, told the Bureau that the team
set out ‘to cause people to pause for a moment and say “Wow I’ve never
seen this in that light before”.’
