Of course they do . By the way, your title has a misprint. Its targeted killing of terrorists in Pakistan. Get it right.
Video says about target killing of politicians too. And we had a recent attempt on Politician Sheik Rasheed in Rawalpinidi, few guys got killed in this incident he survived the attack with injuries. How about India goes after the key suspect of Mumbai attack David Headley who is a double agent of USA. To whom USA has denied any access to. Another video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-Y9Hl2TyC4&feature=channel
now that is funny. i think the op here has a radical pov and just tried to use that video to support this.
Source is "Jeremy Scahill" US author with best selling book not youtube. Youtbue is just a medium that video is not home made its an interview to a tv channel. Radical is hiring some mercenary force to do your dirty work in other countries whom you call your allies/friends and stabbing them in the back and you calling my pov radical now that is funny. Another funny thing is that you take medium as source. Next time I'll mention source specialy for you in a note.
You'd have been better off sticking with YouTube as your quoted source. Scahill is a self proclaimed anti-capitalist which means he, and Amy Goodman stand hand in hand in opposition to everything America has stood for for in the 20th century. Quoting Scahill as an "Authoritive Source" on the evils of American troops and mercenaries abroad is like quoting Hitler or Ahamadinijad as an unbiased source on the evils of the Jews. Get real. Maybe you need to check your sources again.... http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=1692 Radical is when leftists like John Stewart think you are WAAAAAY too far radical to be credible. Note how, in this interview, Stewart all but laughs at the guy. Personally, I like Scahill, and I watch Democracy Now! with some regularity. For me it has a higher entertainment value than New or Imad selling the 9-11 terrorist attacks as a justifiable action by freedom fighters. Perhaips it is sad that his words have credibility with the mentally feable at home and abroad, but not everyone can be a D student or better. Perhaps the best thing about him and his kind, is that they illustrate what a truly great country America is. There are voices of dissent, meritorious or otherwise, in every culuture. In America, they provide entertainment. In Iran, they are executed. Lastly, regarding the use of mercenaries, the real humor comes from John Stewart being the one to point out that mercenaries have been part of almost every war effort by the US and other countries since the beginning of time. If we are busily killing your terrorist leaders, why would it matter to you if we use a soldier who makes $30k a year, a mercenary who makes $360k a year, or a drone that costs a couple million dollars? As a US citizen, I'm the one who should be concerned about how many dollars is spent per dead terrorist. If you were honest about it, you would admit you don't care how we are killing these terrorist lieaders, you just wish we would stop. Thats why we see post after post from people like you complaining about drone attacks, or any other effective means of dealing with these people. Thinking about it, I should thank you for the comic releif. Your posts are more entertaining than a cripple fight, and really help to take the edge off the hatred of America, Britain, Israel, and Western culture they espouse.
