I love this part:
Another apparent Predator missile strike killed a former Taliban commander, Nek Mohammed, in South Waziristan in June 2004, along with five others. A local observer said the strike was so precise that it didn't damage any of the buildings around the lawn where Mohammed was seated. At the time, the Pakistani army said Mohammed had been killed in clashes with its soldiers.

I'm getting the vibe that tactics need tweaking if Zwahiri really blew off the party last week when he saw drones in the area.

The CIA's failed Jan. 13 attempt to assassinate Al Qaeda second-in-command Ayman Zawahiri in Pakistan was the latest strike in the "targeted killing" program It killed a couple terrorist... not sure I'd say it was failure.

I don't like this: More "leaking" of CIA tactics used in the GWOT.
This will make our enemies more wary & edgy next times.

"the United States is expanding a top-secret effort to kill suspected terrorists with drone-fired missiles..."
What? No warrant? No trial? Time to begin impeachment proceedings.

TOP SECRET? Then, how does the LA Times know about it?

I see a time when an aircraft can drop metallic "insects" that fly right to the target and inject them with poison. No collateral damage whatsoever.
