Senator Diane Feinstein (D-Ca) potentially damaged national security and ruined a delicate U.S military and CIA operation to kill terrorists in Pakistan via Predator drones flown from Pakistan airbases. Pakistan's new civilian government has vowed to take down Taliban and al-Qaeda terrorists cells, while publicly opposing our "unilateral" strikes on Pakistan soil. This bifurcated policy is necessary due to hard-line elements in that nation's military and intelligence agencies who sympathize with fundamentalist elements in the wild western regions that border Afghanistan. Senator Feinstein chairs the Terrorism, Technology and Homeland Security sub-committee and should know better about spilling delicate national security secrets. One hopes this was a one-off blunder that will not be repeated.
