If this were to come to light in the media they would blame Obama. Truth is that a CIA/Pentagon that has black budget and no oversight by congress (because yes, that would be congresses job to oversee CIA/Pentagon... its not the Presidents job albeit we the people probably give it to him whether he likes it or not) then you have a CIA that operates like it can do whatever it wants. If you believe that the CIA/Pentagon actions below are wrong... call your congressmen. Or, better yet... Contact Senator Feinstein because she is at least trying to oversea their actions: freep/article/20140313/COL04/303130007/CIA-Dianne-Feinstein-interrogation-detention-Senate-Intelligence-Committee-Robert-Eatinger U.S. resumes drone strikes in Pakistan The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) resumed its drone campaign in Pakistan after a five-month lull with two strikes on Wednesday and Thursday that killed at least 14 people in the tribal district of North Waziristan (NYT, AFP). The first strike targeted a compound that belonged to the militant Haqqani network and the second strike targeted a truck carrying explosives that was parked outside that same compound. The compound was located four miles north of Miramshah, the main town in North Waziristan. A majority of casaulties were Uzbek fighters from the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, a Taliban-allied group that took part in Sundays assault on the Karachi airport, which led to at least 36 deaths, including the 10 attackers. Before Wednesday, the last U.S. drone strike in Pakistan was on December 25, 2013, according to data collected by the New America Foundation. Foreign Policy
