The Mail on Sunday today reveals shocking new evidence of the full horrific impact of US drone attacks in Pakistan.
A damning dossier assembled from exhaustive research into the strikes’ targets sets out in heartbreaking detail the deaths of teachers, students and Pakistani policemen. It also describes how bereaved relatives are forced to gather their loved ones’ dismembered body parts in the aftermath of strikes.
The dossier has been assembled by human rights lawyer Shahzad Akbar, who works for Pakistan’s Foundation for Fundamental Rights and the British human rights charity Reprieve.
Filed in two separate court cases, it is set to trigger a formal murder investigation by police into the roles of two US officials said to have ordered the strikes. They are Jonathan Banks, former head of the Central Intelligence Agency’s Islamabad station, and John A. Rizzo, the CIA’s former chief lawyer. Mr Akbar and his staff have already gathered further testimony which has yet to be filed....
In the first case, which has already been heard by a court in Islamabad, judgment is expected imminently. If the judge grants Mr Akbar’s petition, an international arrest warrant will be issued via Interpol against the two Americans.

This is why I have to laugh at the “Tree of Liberty, Blood Of Tyrants” crowd. They won’t even see it coming.
The silence from the “anti-war left” has been deafening.
If you harbor terrorists, you become a terrorist also.
Nab?
Seriously?
Bammy's more likely to turn them over as a show of good faith...Poison Photo-Drop .. decision to release photographs .. will imperil nation .. its defenders.Before he is done I fully expect him to release the names, addresses and phone numbers of anyone anywhere in the world who has ever provided any information to agency workers.
The damage to US intel will last multiple generations.
A dossier of the victim’s testimonies? And in a Pakistani court?? Nothing biased here!!
And how do we know all these “teachers, students and Pakistani policemen” weren’t actually terrorists helping to kill NATO troops in Afghanistan? NATO troops have paid a hard and bloody price for Pakistan’s duplicitous sheltering of Al-Quaeda.
This guy has enough work in his own country to keep him busy before he goes after the CIA.
...sets out in heartbreaking detail the deaths of teachers, students and Pakistani policemen.The next drone strike should be...
You’ll need to explain yourself. What are you saying? Patriots will get hit by Hellfire missiles? Interpol will arrest them? The CIA will take them out?

the GUardian is so far left they make O look reasonable. Notice that these so called convictions are coming from the ever so reliable Paki courts. Screw em all. Collateral damage happens when terrorists hide amongst civilians
Interpol can't arrest anyone.
Obama shoots Pakistanis with one hand, and sends them billions of dollars in aid without congressional approval with the other.
The report said of those, up to 881 were civilians, including 176 children. Only 41 people who had died had been confirmed as ‘high-value’ terrorist targets.

How is this acceptable considering the ROE our troops on the ground in Afghanistan and even our Border Patrol must deal with?
Sounds like the contents of a Madrassa.
Sounds like we need more drones....
Coming soon to any city in America. Thanks Obama/military industrial complex.
Gee, I wonder if the MSM will run with this they way they did with Abu Ghraib? Oh, wait. There’s a different guy in the White House now. Nothing to see here....
Pin point accurate, or close enough, Tungsten rods, beam weapons etc, from orbit...all with just the touch from a keyboard.
All we have to do is remove what little is left of our morality, finish kicking God out of our lives, remove the last few checks and balances on government power and just give in, and we, the people, could easily become the most evil force the world has ever known.
Imagine what a Mao or Stalin or Hitler or any other you care to name could have done with the world we've created.
Who knows, we might not have to imagine. The rate we are going, we likely will experience it for ourselves. We are "the power that can't fall into the wrong hands."
If they really want to get serious, screw the CIA guys.
“When a rare opportunity for a drone strike at a top terrorist arises — but his family is with him — it is the president who has reserved to himself the final moral calculation.
“He is determined that he will make these decisions about how far and wide these operations will go,” said Thomas E. Donilon, his national security adviser. “His view is that he’s responsible for the position of the United States in the world.” He added, “He’s determined to keep the tether pretty short.” “
