Within hours I had this case all but solved:

Another al-qaeda sympathizer getting his marching orders from al-qaeda
websites. Time to triple the drone fleet.

WTF. Just go with it, Weekly Standard. Why wait for confirmation?

By the way- what's the difference between BillB and America's most venal
"neo-cons"?

Precisely. Why?

It takes a truly twisted mind to think the answer to two dead civilians by
US grown assailants is missile murdering hundreds more overseas.

That's me, but at least I don't make up alternate realities like you do.
The apparent leader of this particular terrorist mission was hardly
"US-grown," and given his recent travels, the real architect of the
attack was likely outside the US. I say they drone his ass when (and if)
they find out who he is.

Why wait to find out and confirm your rank speculation? You've been
perfectly happy to see people killed when the government doesn't even know
who they are.

"In Pakistan, Mr. Obama had approved not only “personality” strikes aimed
at named, high-value terrorists, but “signature” strikes that targeted
training camps and suspicious compounds in areas controlled by militants.

But some State Department officials have complained to the White House
that the criteria used by the C.I.A. for identifying a terrorist
“signature” were too lax. The joke was that when the C.I.A. sees “three
guys doing jumping jacks,” the agency thinks it is a terrorist training
camp, said one senior official. Men loading a truck with fertilizer could
be bombmakers — but they might also be farmers, skeptics argued.

..

Signature strikes in Pakistan were killing a large number of terrorist
suspects, even when C.I.A. analysts were not certain beforehand of their
presence.
..

Today, the Defense Department can target suspects in Yemen whose names
they do not know."
