@Umer

Supposed to be there <> Was there

Tells you something about the reliability of intelligence that tells you where someone is "supposed" to be

Well this isnt like infiltrating a Soviet Embassy in Prague....

The intelligence that we gather comes from people we pay to keep their ears open to any word of these terrorists movement and if they have any actionable intelligence to relay it back to HQ from where people can make decisions to act upon it.

@Umer

Ever heared about "targetted killings" instead of blind missile fire?

Pakistan doesnt have that kind of technology.

@Umer

In this particular case no lives have been saved but only wasted, because the targetted people were not among the dead.

Actually most of the people killed were Taliban and al Qaeda terrorists including the spiritual guide of zawahiri

@Umer

Yes there are people in the Tribal Areas who do that, but you can't blame the whole population of these Tribal Areas for something that a couple of them are doing.

You can't blame the whole population but you have to show to the population what will happen if you let this kind of activity go unchecked and be the silent majority

@Umer

The people you are talking about are still hiding in Pakistan. But that doesn't make it right to kill innoncent people.

It doesnt make it right to kill innocent people but what else can we do?

We have to act on intelligence as it comes in and if we don't the consequences of in-action is greater than the consequences of doing this action

However, the greatest possible care must be given to safeguard human lives...
