And your improvement is based on one attack in 2006 that killed so many children. But is it accurate to say that it was a US Drone or that children even died? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chenagai_airstrike According to the American Broadcasting Company, the attack was launched by a MQ-1 Predator with Ayman al-Zawahiri as its intended target.[6] However, the report's author has since been removed from ABC's site due to questions concerning the reliability of his reporting. In Afghanistan, U.S. military spokesman Maj. Matt Hackathorn denied the U.S. was involved in the strike. "It was completely done by the Pakistani military," he told the Associated Press. A spokesman for the Pakistani Foreign Office also denied involvement of any external influence or pressure, saying of the airstrike, "It is something that we have done and we have been doing for peace and security in our own region".[7] Local people claimed the victims included boys as young as 12 but Pakistani officials insisted they had been shown satellite images of people training and had checked the identity cards of all those killed, and that all were adults.
