Is the CIA’s controversial drone war on Pakistani militants actually being flown out of Pakistan itself?
That’s the apparent bombshell dropped Thursday by Senator Diane Feinstein, during a Senate Select Committee on Intelligence hearing. Depending on who you ask, it’s either a king-sized security breach, or a ho-hum replay of the press has already reported.
The fact that some media people may have already figured that out is irrelevant. Anybody with any brains has already figured out that Pakistan and the US had some kind of secret back door deal. And by the same token, everyone who had any brains understood why everything was being kept hush hush, and it was not to hide anything from the US people. By shooting her mouth off she made Obama’s job harder.
I believe that the American people have a right to know who their country is fighting and killing. But I don’t believe they have a right to know where the attacks are being flown from. Keeping such information hidden has always been part of warfare.
