Preystations: No law to down CIA drones



The Pakistani army has met with NATO and Afghan forces in an effort to improve coordination along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.

The talks come just hours after a US drone attack in Northwest Pakistan killed 10 suspected militants. Washington has been criticized for its CIA led aerial strikes with some allegedly targeting Pakistani civilians and funeral services.

Chris Woods, Senior Reporter at the Bureau of Investigative Journalism thinks it won't be long until the legality of these strikes is tried in court.

They sponsored the Taliban before 9/11, then hosted Bin Laden afterwards. The I.S.I. has given aid and logistics to the Taliban, while getting the same from the U.S. for supposedly helping us defeat the Taliban, and their client Al Qaeda.

Pakistan is free to play both sides, just don't expect us to passively accept their duplicity.
