No, al-Zawahiri was not among the dead

CNN: "Ayman al-Zawahiri -- Osama bin Laden's right-hand man in the al Qaeda terrorist network -- was not killed in a CIA airstrike on a remote Pakistani village, according to a Pakistani intelligence official."

Still, 18 people were killed. But I suppose that doesn't matter, does it? I mean, what value do 18 anonymous Pakistanis have? It's not like they have mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, sons and daughters, right? I mean, this is war, right? The so-called war on terror. And Zawahiri's a key target. So let's just keep on bombing the crap out of faraway villages, shall we? I mean, what are a few innocent victims? Okay, what are thousands of innocent victims?

That's me being sarcastic, by the way. Is it any wonder Pakistanis are a bit miffed?

Well done, CIA. You're doing wonders for America's reputation in the world. Not to mention for America's alleged commitment to the sanctity of human life.
