ISLAMABAD: Chairman Parliamentary Committee on National Security (PCNS) Senator Raza Rabbani said on Monday that the statement of US Secretary of Defence regarding drone attacks was not appropriate.
The committee reviewed the statement of Leon Panetta about drone attacks in Fata. His statement was not appropriate, Rabbani told journalists after a meeting of the committee in Parliament House here.
Rabbani said that the countrys sovereignty would not be compromised at any cost, adding that not only were drone attacks a violation of Pakistans sovereignty, they were also a breach of international laws.
The chairman said that the committees recommendations regarding Pak-US relations were clear.

(10,942 posts)1. This gets tiring.
Working every day to mass murder as many people as possible is against not only international law, but humanity itself. Until the wannbe mass murderers change their bahavior and work to humanely settle their differences, I say kill the bastards with as many drones as can be flown.

Because slaughtering civilians and suspects without trial on foreign soil could, just could, incite more hatred...

drone attacks are a terrorist action. I also feel that sanctions are mass retaliation, and should be illegal as well.
