		<description><![CDATA[&quot;This is just not true. The UK-based Bureau of Investigative Journalism is the group that keeps the best count of casualties from U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia. According to its figures, since 2004, U.S. has killed between about 2,500-3,000 people in Pakistan. Of those, between 479 and 811 were civilians, 174 of them children.&quot;  Ummm... ok, so how does the UK-based Bureau of Investigative Journalism get its figures, particularly when the Pakistani government blocks off areas where drone attacks occurred? 

&quot;He said the Americans often assumes that if someone wears a turban, has a beard and carries a weapon, he is a combatant.&quot;  Someone who says this is just as ignorant as the American who believes anyone wearing a turban, has a beard and carries a weapon is a combatant. Hell, that description, minus the turban (replace it with a cowboy hat) is a Conservative Republican.  Notwithstanding that the latter is not being relevant, this &quot;attorney&quot; (yes, I quote it) is not credible.

Drones are the best thing to happen to modern-day warfare.  The best thing to happen to our troops.  I think you are just too too proud of yourself interrupting Brennan, writing about it yourself as if you were so incredibly brave to do it.  You were only making a fool of yourself by acting like a 16 year old rebellious child. If you have something really meaningful to say, first, show some humility, and second, discuss it a little bit maturely.  

Also, free speech is a right, but we should use it cautiously by speaking with an informed and thoughtful voice, not just vomiting whatever you can and hoping that any leftist will lick up the vomit like candy.]]></description>
