Feinstein comment on U.S. drones likely to embarrass Pakistan
The Predator planes that launch missile strikes against militants are based in Pakistan, the senator says. That suggests a much deeper relationship with the U.S. than Islamabad would like to admit.

This is absolutely outrageous. This is one of the areas where I dissent with the Democratic leadership. Sen. Feinstein has made an absolutely clumsy, unnecessary and potentially dangerous revelation. This abject indiscretion poses enormous risks to our relations with the Pakistan government and gravely endangers these secret operations and their operators. This is in no way similar to the necessary revelations related to the use of torture; these operations are not in violation of the Geneva Conventions and they are conducted with consent between international partners. That consent may now be yanked and other US-Pakistan cooperation may be damaged.
