It's Time to Acknowledge Secret Drone Strikes
Peter Bergen, New America Foundation | April 26, 2010
The US has kept classified its CIA program that targets militants in the tribal regions of Pakistan.++ Since January of 2009, more than 85 reported drone strikes have killed thousands of militants in Pakistan.++ Vital information for carrying out these strikes was obtained by the Pakistani intelligence.++ Obama should acknowledge the role of the Pakistanis in helping carry out these strikes.++ "If Pakistan came clean about its involvement with the drones, public backing for the program might similarly increase."
