Because the drone war remains a classified CIA program, the CIA will not have to account for its actions to anybody, least of all the U.S. or Pakistani publics.
I'm not sure what the goal is here. Pakistan has nuclear weapons. These strikes might diminish the strength of whoever they are killing, but they have to be breeding a very deep anger. I wouldn't doubt the Pakistani government is seen as complicit, either. What kind of long term goals might the Obama administration be trying to accomplish?
