    Unbelievable scene here where I picked up the fly swatter, saw a fly on it and thought, 'Hmm, don't remember leaving that fly carcass on there' — and then it flew away.

    Naser, 30, was an officer in the Afghan National Army, and had worked as a contractor for the US military. Like his cousin Zemari, he had hoped to be resettled as a refugee in America and was planning to marry his fiancee, Samia, so she'd be included in his case. 10/10

    Since 9/11, FBI terrorism stings have nabbed hundreds. But did any of these people pose much of a threat? , , , and I worked on this video about two decades of FBI terrorism stings and the consequences of national security theater.

    Zamir's younger brother Faisal was 16. His uncle, Romal, who was for the strike, told me his nephew was badly wounded in the torso and face from shrapnel. "He wasn't breathing," he recalled. 3/10

    His oldest son, Zamir, was 20. He, like his mother and siblings, were included in Zemari's refugee resettlement case, sponsored by his company, Nutrition and Education International. They hoped to escape to America. 2/10

    Zemari Ahmadi, 43, was the target of the strike. The US military said it didn't know who he was, but found his actions suspicious. He was an aid worker for a California-based company, and the breadwinner for his entire extended family. 1/10

    Here are the faces of those killed in the last known drone strike of America's twenty-year war, the latest among thousands of civilian casualties from air strikes, mostly faceless to us. Ungrievable lives, as Judith Butler put it. But we can look into this family's eyes:
