Danger Room has come up with yet another drone post, this time about a gull-like drone that crashed in Pakistan but apparently flew even earlier into Iraq. Even Danger Room doesn't have all the answers on this one--though they certainly have a bit more than I do.
Not to connect too many dots that I'm probably not qualified to connect, but earlier this week I was hearing on the Rachel Maddow show that the brutal attack on the Benghazi consulate that killed an ambassador and three others may have been in retaliation for the assassination of an an al-Quaeda leader, Abu Yahya al-Libi. How is al-Libi thought to have died? By a drone attack.
I'm not saying that killing Ambassador Stevens was just or right. I'm just saying that if a drone was behind that death, the provocation it subsequently causes is not exactly incomprehensible.
