20,000 Pakistanis Protest Drones Over Weekend; Five Killed By One Yesterday

The United States gives its implied answer to the 20,000 or so Pakistanis who protested drone strikes in the town of Tank over the weekend: another drone strike that killed five.

The protestors, including Americans from Code Pink, retreated to Islamabad yesterday.

Stanford Law School and the New York University School of Law issued an interesting study last month on the U.S. use of drones in Pakistan, concluding that "in light of significant evidence of harmful impacts to Pakistani civilians and to US interests, current policies to address terrorism through targeted killings and drone strikes must be carefully re-evaluated."

Reason on drones in Pakistan.
