WASHINGTON, D.C.
A senior U.S. lawmaker said Thursday that unmanned CIA Predator aircraft operating in Pakistan are flown from an airbase inside that country, a revelation likely to embarrass the Pakistani government and complicate its counterterrorism collaboration with the United States.
The disclosure by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), the chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, marked the first time a U.S. official had publicly commented on where the Predator aircraft patrolling Pakistan take off and land.
At a hearing, Feinstein expressed surprise at Pakistani opposition to the ongoing campaign of Predator-launched CIA missile strikes against Al Qaeda targets along Pakistan's northwest border.

I truly hope this bitch rots in hell.
OPINION:
Willfully ignorant and I suppose an intentional disclosure.
Democrats are not patriots and truly are displaying anti-American tendencies.
Help me undersand something. Which side is she on?
Paging Hillary, cleanup in aisle 3.
She’s on the democrat’s side.
she’s got nothing to fear, we don’t prosecute for treason any more.
Obama is a war criminal! His illegal war on Pakistan was not approved by the UN! Why the rush to war? Why not try sanctions? Where are the French and Germans? Why are we doing this unilaterally? Where are our allies?
/s
She obviously doesn’t care or she never would have made that statement.
You stupid bleeping bleep. The protests from the Pakistan government are for public consumption, while our private arrangements are very different. A freaking five year old could understand this, but apparently not this stupid, monumentally stupid woman.
They are not launched anywhere near Islamabad, that would be easily spotted.
The Pakis play a great shell game and this is no way to keep up appearances. There will be big trouble over this.
She and Leaky Leahy must be having some kind of competition.
feinstein is on our side.
the problem is she is sooo dumb that we would be better off if she were on the other side.
Stanford needs to take her diploma back.
As mayor of San Francisco in 1984, she publicly revealed that police had bloody shoe prints from two Night Stalker murders.
Psychopath killer Richard Ramirez immediately threw his shoes in a dumpster and fled the area.
Why does this idiot still have a security clearance?
Looks like someone just opened a whole bag of stupid. All of that botox must have replaced whatever little gray matter she had in her head. Thanks again California.
The same reason she still has a Conceal Carry Permit.
Rat Politician, that's the answer.
Maybe we ought to get the Orange County Sheriff to take it away from her considering Di Fi is a FREAKIN IDIOT!
The depth of stupidity in Congress is truly unbelievable, every new day brings new awe to how bad they really are.
I would be surprised to see the Paki government survive this one. Big trouble. They'll all be leading with it at press time in a couple of hours.
