US drone attacks: CIA chiefs face arrest over horrific evidence of bloody 'video-game' sorties | Mail Online

A damning dossier assembled from exhaustive research into the strikes' targets sets out in heartbreaking detail the deaths of teachers, students and Pakistani policemen. It also describes how bereaved relatives are forced to gather their loved ones' dismembered body parts in the aftermath of strikes.

The dossier has been assembled by human rights lawyer Shahzad Akbar, who works for Pakistan's Foundation for Fundamental Rights and the British human rights charity Reprieve.

Filed in two separate court cases, it is set to trigger a formal murder investigation by police into the roles of two US officials said to have ordered the strikes. They are Jonathan Banks, former head of the Central Intelligence Agency's Islamabad station, and John A. Rizzo, the CIA's former chief lawyer. Mr Akbar and his staff have already gathered further testimony which has yet to be filed.

Nothing new coming out of the delusional PR quarters of Islamabad. Many independent journalists have tried to gain access to the areas hit by the drone strikes, but it is found that the Taliban cordon off the area, and don't allow anyone to get anywhere near the hit area. The militant dead bodies and weapons are collected and sanitized, before journalists are allowed access the area by the Taliban. The dead are than paraded as "innocent civilians being killed in reckless drone strikes". It is nothing but Taliban propaganda which the Pakistanis are only too willing to peddle. When independent Pakistani journalists, such as Farhat Taj, access the area, conduct a poll, and talk to the locals and find out that the locals are actually happy that the drones are taking out Taliban targets, the Pakistanis vehemently protest and label these journalists as "liberal extremists". What an irony.

I wonder where Shahzad Akbar was when the Pakistani Taliban banned girls education, publicly flogged women in the middle of Swat town, and murdered tribal elders and civilians.

Here are some more facts for Pakistanis to chew on:

And while the Pakistanis en mass may scream "liberal extremists" on the top of their lungs, but regardless, they should get this through their head:
