"The first thing that came into my mind was, how the hell is the British government trying so hard to save the life of a Pakistani girl? There must be something seriously wrong that British government save the life of a Pakistani girl like that. The same day, Brit soldiers killed 3 innocent children near Helmand, Afghanistan. I questioned again, why nobody brought those children and thousand others who the US/NATO soldiers shot in the head to UK for treatment?"

"We are concerned that the use of such ‘signature’ strikes could raise the risk of killing innocent civilians or individuals who may have no relationship to attacks on the United States…Our drone campaigns already have virtually no transparency, accountability or oversight. We are further concerned about the legal grounds for such strikes under the 2001 Authorization for the Use of Military Force."
Rep. Dennis Kucinich - As Obama stonewalls on drone strikes, critics warn of war crimes.
The implications of the use of drones for our national security are profound…. They are faceless ambassadors that cause civilian deaths, and are frequently the only direct contact with Americans that the targeted communities have. They can generate powerful and enduring anti-American sentiment.
