To the Editor:

Re “Air Force, Short of Drone Pilots, Uses Contractors to Fight Terror” (front page, Sept. 6):

Will the privatization of drone operations mean less information disclosed to the public on who was killed, and why, where and when? Is this a hidden “benefit” of privatization?

Parts of the federal government have realized that private prisons produce worse outcomes. The same needs to be realized about all privatized military operations.
