CIA chiefs face arrest over evidence of bloody ‘video-game’ US drone attacks
Not quite sure to make of this one at this point. I doubt Pakistan gets to try US CIA officers. At the same time, in this day and age and with Obama in the White House, I wouldn’t rule anything out.
Hard to know what the facts are for now.
The Mail on Sunday today reveals shocking new evidence of the full horrific impact of US drone attacks in Pakistan.
A damning dossier assembled from exhaustive research into the strikes’ targets sets out in heartbreaking detail the deaths of teachers, students and Pakistani policemen. It also describes how bereaved relatives are forced to gather their loved ones’ dismembered body parts in the aftermath of strikes.
The dossier has been assembled by human rights lawyer Shahzad Akbar, who works for Pakistan’s Foundation for Fundamental Rights and the British human rights charity Reprieve.
Filed in two separate court cases, it is set to trigger a formal murder investigation by police into the roles of two US officials said to have ordered the strikes. They are Jonathan Banks, former head of the Central Intelligence Agency’s Islamabad station, and John A. Rizzo, the CIA’s former chief lawyer. Mr Akbar and his staff have already gathered further testimony which has yet to be filed.

Speaking of the CIA and drones…
CIA officer Gary Berntsen on the Obama administration’s reaction: “They stood and they watched and our people died.”
“CBS News has been told that, hours after the attack began, an unmanned Predator drone was sent over the U.S. mission in Benghazi, and that the drone and other reconnaissance aircraft apparently observed the final hours of the protracted battle. Add to the controversy the fact that the last two Americans didn’t die until more than six hours into the attack, and the question of U.S. military help becomes very important.” ~Sharyl Attkisson

I gather the Pakis have no personal jurisdiction over either man.
It’s all a political stunt.

These “human rights” groups usually are stooges for the Jihadists and have nothing to do with either humans or rights. They’re always making threats about putting various Americans ‘on trial’.
CIA are basically just a terrorist organization at this point.
So is Pakistan.
