Pakistan’s government reported US drones killed only civilians in 39 of 44 attacks on their country in 2009; with over 700 innocent civilians killed, according to Pakistan's most widely-read English newspaper. Pakistan has repeatedly publicly denounced the US attacks, making the US guilty of War Crimes as they do not have explicit permission from Pakistan’s government.

The US refuses to discuss the program, calling its CIA-managed program "covert." New York University law professor Philip Alston, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial, Summary, or Arbitrary Executions since 2004, reports his requests for US legal justification for apparent extrajudicial executions are always denied. The US claims its secret program is legal, despite the obvious violation from Pakistan’s public refusal of permission.

Analysis: The drone war is:

* unlawful on its face,
* covert and from the same secretive people who torture and lied to initiate illegal wars in Iraq and Afghanistan,
* kills targets who are lawfully engaging US troops in self-defense from an unauthorized and unlawful armed attack and invasion from the US on Afghanistan,
* kills civilians at an evil ratio even if the CIA secret evidence against alleged "terrorists" is justified,
* probably greatly increases the number of people who will commit acts of terror against US targets.
