A US drone dropped a missile killing 16 people in Pakistan
who had nothing to do with anything.

Looks like they missed that so called militant

This is an earlier link - heard the update on BBC news.

Meanwhile a bomb was thrown into a restaurant used by foreigners in Pakistan killing and seriously injuring a number of people including FBI agents.

<snip>
A bomb exploded in the back garden of an Italian restaurant crowded with foreigners in Pakistan's capital Saturday, killing a Turkish woman and wounding 11 others, including five Americans.

The Luna Caprese restaurant in Islamabad, Pakistan, is popular with foreign diplomats and workers.

Personnel from the U.S. and British embassies were among the wounded after what appeared to be the first attack targeting foreigners in a recent wave of violence in Pakistan.

A list of victims was posted in the reception area at Islamabad's Poly Clinic. Five U.S. citizens were listed as undergoing surgery. One Japanese citizen, one Canadian, one Briton and three Pakistanis also were wounded.

Foreigners crowded around the list; some burst into tears.

3. Reuters reports

"A U.S. aircraft fired missiles on Sunday at a house in a Pakistani region known as a haven for al Qaeda and Taliban fighters, killing at least 9 militants and wounding nine, an intelligence official said. . . The intelligence official said four missiles were fired at the house in Shahnawaz Kheil Dhoog, a village near the town of Wana in the South Waziristan region on the Afghan border, just after 3 p.m. (1000 GMT). 'It was apparently an American plane that fired precision guided missiles at the house,' the official, who asked not to be identified, told Reuters."

This seems to be happening a lot more these days, doesn't it? What I wonder about is how they know where these guys are. I mean, someone is on the ground in the Waziristan areas calling in these strikes. I ain't the Pakistanis doing it, so who is? We've been hearing about how there's no way we've got Speical Forces in there, but you know . . .

What happens when one of those SF guys gets captured by the Talibs or AQ? Then the shit's going to hit the fan.

4. Answer: they don't know where these guys are
They're using weak intelligence and killing innocent people. Who's gonna know, and who's gonna care?
