The problem is the entire study is based on interview and eye witness accounts. In a situation like that exists in Pakistan today, there is no way of verifying. Two thinks one will have to consider here. a) The 90% population in the target area hates US b) loud explosion in the middle of night could be anything, rival group bombing (suicide bombing), people wake up in the morning thinking it was drone (remember drones make no noise).

In any case, most studies are funded by some group; professors get rich and research students get paid until they too get a job and own funding. I prefer writers, who spend considerable amount of time on ground live the life, understand the population and then write a book.

so do we believe the Americans that the drones only target terrorists?

As far as increasing anti Americanism is concerned, you need to thank the drone strikes for that. They are the main reason for increase in anti American sentiments even in those countries where the Americans have not used drones. You will find many articles as to how drones are increasing anti US sentiments in the wider middle east due to drone attacks in Yemen. The people of FATA are in the middle of the war for more than 7 years and you think that they can’t differentiate between drone strikes and bombs, secondly your administration owns them up with pride.
