Don't really see how this leak is wrong. It exposed the higher up's idiocy for nto attacking. No leak and nobody would have ever known.

Yeah, I'd like to see an investigation into why this target wasn't attacked? Because we couldn't, or because we wouldn't?

Exactly. This is the type of leak that those actually doing the fighting have to make in order to get anything done, or so it appears.

We keep fighting this war the PC way, and it will never end....

I wonder if the NYT will do an investigative story on who established a policy that would allow 190 Taliban to go out and terrorize and possible kill American soldiers.

There is that aspect to it, but it's still not a good idea. The Taliban/AQ now have a much clearer understanding of our predator drones abilities. They won't be seen standing outdoors in tight formation ever again.

In addition, the fact that the drone was there might expose an operative who told the drone where to be.
