Georgetown Professor: 'Drones Are Not Killing Innocent Civilians' in Pakistan
By Jeremy Scahill
Some estimates, most of which are indeed Pakistani sources, suggest that the vast majority of Pakistanis killed are civilians. In an Op-Ed [1] for The New York Times last year, David Kilcullen and Andrew Exum, called for a moratorium on the strikes, saying they had "killed some 700 civilians.

U.S. attack killed at least 14 people in Pakistan
"Three missiles hit a vehicle and three militants sitting in it were killed," said an intelligence agency official in the region, who declined to be identified. The drones then fired about 12 missiles at a nearby militant compound, killing at least 11 more, according to a second security official who said the death toll may rise.

US spies still working in Pakistan

A Plague Upon The World: The USA is a "Failed State"
By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts
To American eyes a vague "terrorist threat," a creation of their own government, is sufficient justification for naked aggression against Muslim peoples and for an agenda of world hegemony.

Pakistan: Missile attacks kill 24 in tribal area
ABC News
05/11/10
Two separate volleys of American missiles slammed into a Taliban sanctuary in Pakistan close to the Afghan border Tuesday, killing at least 24 alleged insurgents in the latest such strikes since a failed car bombing in New York, officials said. The first strike in North Waziristan involved up to 18 missiles — an unusually intense bombardment...

US still using private spies, despite doubts
MSNBC
05/16/10
Top military officials have continued to rely on a secret network of private spies who have produced hundreds of reports from deep inside Afghanistan and Pakistan, according to American officials and businessmen, despite concerns among some in the military about the legality of the operation. Earlier this year, government officials admitted that the military had sent a group of former Central Intelligence Agency officers and retired Special Operations troops into the region to collect information — some of which was used to track and kill people suspected of being militants...

Obama’s Gulf of Tonkin
AntiWar.Com
by Justin Raimondo
This war, covert up until a few months ago, first reared its head when Hillary Clinton paid a tempestuous visit to Pakistan and directly accused her hosts of sheltering Osama bin Laden. The resulting firestorm marked a new low in US-Pakistani relations, and one has trouble believing it was merely a random temper tantrum on Hillary’s part. You’ll recall that during the presidential campaign, Obama openly declared his intention to go into Pakistan, given the chance to do so, and it’s entirely unsurprising he’s doing just that. First, however, his administration must come up with a rationale, and apparently they’ve settled on the pathetic act of a demented ‘lone wolf’ — as Gen. David Petraeus characterized Shahzad — as being good enough for government work. In short, the Shahzad case is Obama’s Gulf of Tonkin incident...
