even when Pakistan's government request them not to do this is perfectly ok

While I agree with the sentiment, I'm pretty sure the last WikiLeak clarified that we had the consent of the Pakistani military brass, who took credit for the attacks, and who were lying to the elected officials/citizens.

Wow.

The fact that it's possible to make that kind of statement with that kind of confidence really just sent home what Wikileaks might mean at the end of the day. The only fuzz phrase you used was "pretty sure". No more CYA madlibs?

"According to (news network of dubious perspective) (shaky adjective) reports from (unknown, likely irrelevant person) suggest parties in (vague but suggestive geographical region) might be doing (questionable activity)."

It was very clear that Pakistan Army was supporting drone operations long before Wikileaks - there are friggin satellite pictures of US drones on Pakistani airbases.

I have to wonder why there is a contention now though over if they want them there or not? Seems that making it all clear and documented would be very simple.

Perhaps they changed their mind and no longer wish them to act there? I want to read more into the issue, but all I can think is that if they withdraw their consent, then we should leave immediately.

When who withdraws their consent? The Pakistani people, or the (unelected) Pakistani military officials?
