#1 To date, the CIA has focused its efforts on Pakistan because, until now, "the CIA ha[d] neither the drones nor the personnel to take the lead in the [Yemen] operation," according to the Associated Press. "US special operations forces based just outside Yemen are taking aim almost daily at a greater array of targets" which, presumably, suggests operations from the al-Udeid base in Qatar. But, in any case, this is about to change with the rushed construction of a new CIA base from which to launch drones inside Yemen, according to the news agency.

Crappy, bad written and doesn't address the interesting issue - the legal basis for drone attacks in Pakland and Yemen.
