Secret memos reveal explicit nature of U.S., Pakistan agreement on drones

[Connery]

"Despite repeatedly denouncing the CIA’s drone campaign, top officials in Pakistan’s government have for years secretly endorsed the program and routinely received classified briefings on strikes and casualty counts, according to top-secret CIA documents and Pakistani diplomatic memos obtained by The Washington Post.

The files describe dozens of drone attacks in Pakistan’s tribal region and include maps as well as before-and-after aerial photos of targeted compounds over a four-year stretch from late 2007 to late 2011 in which the campaign intensified dramatically.

Pakistan’s tacit approval of the drone program has been one of the more poorly kept national security secrets in Washington and Islamabad. During the early years of the campaign, the CIA even used Pakistani airstrips for its Predator fleet."

Do you want to kill terrorist or not?

If we don't have to put pilots at risk why should we...So you're ok with dead Americans.

I wish Pakistan would control their fucking terrorist.

I like the drone program, better than putting American lives in danger.

There is no shortage of victims or enemies.
It is more like they are fighting the people or an ideology.

When terrorists are killed without due process and without regard to the killing of multiple non-terrorist "collateral victims" then the people doing the killing have become the terrorists. Shocking that TSA allows these terrorists to get on airplanes. Specifically onto Air Farce One.
