Defending the Drones and Silencing the Critics

A senior American counterterrorism official, speaking on the condition of anonymity [...] added: “One must wonder why an effort that has so carefully gone after terrorists who plot to kill civilians has been subjected to so much misinformation. Let’s be under no illusions — there are a number of elements who would like nothing more than to malign these efforts and help Al Qaeda succeed.”

That was said about the recent report on our drone project which revealed that we are targeting funerals and people who step in to aid the wounded.  Can you see where we are heading with this? Of course, that could just be some knee-jerk asshat trumpeting his "lockstep" ignorance. But it could also be a message the administration wants you to get.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
