This is the type of fallout to expect when Senators like Dianne Feinstein talk about UAVs flying out of air bases in Pakistan.Iraq was often called Bush's war, but Iraq is won. Afghanistan is now being shaped to become Obama's war, and it will be a difficult and unpopular war under Obama just like Iraq was under Bush. I don't think our nation or military is served effectively when Senators do not uphold their obligations to keep classified information secret.
This type of open source intelligence that results from slips like the Senator's recent slip only compounds the problem of finding effective air fields to operate our aviation assets from.
Don't be the person making excuses for representatives who attempt to intentionally make executive level policy decisions. The Senator was asserting her power over the President, a selfish game with selfish ends, and not something to casually dismiss when lives are at stake.
Unmanned aircraft or not, there are Americans on those bases whose lives have been put in even more danger than they already were.
