CIA Robots Kill Germans in Pakistan
Many years from now, your grandchild will ask inquisitively, "Grandpa, will you please tell me the story about that time the robots from the CIA killed the German people in the mountains of Pakistan?" And then you will scratch your head, as senile old people often do, and belch "You'll have to be more specific. That happened practically every single day when I was your age." Memories:
Drone aircraft operated by the Central Intelligence Agency killed several militants with German citizenship in the mountains of Pakistan on Monday, according to Pakistani and American officials.
The missile strikes were part of an escalating barrage of attacks by the C.I.A. over the past month, and come amid tension in European capitals over the possibility that operatives of Al Qaeda who are based in Pakistan and North Africa might be planning terrorist attacks somewhere on the continent.
There is, as yet, no confirmation that the Germans were in Afghanistan as part of the crew producing the concert film "Kraftwerk Unplugged."
When has randomly killing a German caused bad outcomes? Other than that one time in Austria, but that turned out well for everybody. Mostly everybody.
