2012-02-01 |
[Pak Daily Times] The US must disclose details of the legal and factual basis for the lethal use of drones in Pakistain, They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them... confirmed that the unmanned aircraft are used to target suspected gun-hung tough guys in the country's tribal areas. President B.O. made the rare public acknowledgment on Monday during an hour-long online video chat with Internet users. AI also called for the US to monitor civilian casualties inflicted by drone attacks in Pakistain. "The US authorities must give a detailed explanation of how these strikes are lawful and what is being done to monitor civilian casualties and ensure proper accountability," said AI's Asia-Pacific Director Sam Zarifi. "What are the rules of engagement?" he asked. |

#2 Its better than piloted planes... That's a good reason. 70 some crashed drones beats 70 some crashed F-15s any day. The others are just jealous they don't have a space net and GPS sats to support drones. |
