4. Smells like bullshit
Why the hell would we send predator drones THREE frigging times before a raid? It's not like they cannot be seen in the air. Human surveillance is more effective, and more difficult to discover.

Also, we keep saying that this guy was there, and I heard on the news that the US asserted that SOME of the people we killed were Al Queda. No one has backed that claim. CNN just repeated the claim because, apparently, what sounds good is just as newsworthy as facts.

Now this author seems to be repeating the lies he gets frm the administration without critical thought. Not very good journalism when there is CLEARLY contention in the issue. Get to the bottom of the story...don't just repeat administration lies without critical analysis.

Finally...is everyone here sick of "but Clinton did this and Clintont did that". What the fuck is it with the fixation on Clinton. Clinton is irrelevant, but it seems that he is trotted out time and again to justify anything this administration does, include killing people.
