Practically speaking, how can the US determine if the Pakistan

CIA strike from the Predator drones killed any terrorists?

Will US agents dig up all the fresh graves in the village the CIA attacked to look over the faces to see if they match known terrorists? Ask relatives for photos?

1. You are right...

we will never really know. Those in control write history.

2. They are doing DNA testing

whenever they can get anything with matter that can be sampled. What I don't know is where they are getting the original material. Guess the "terrorists" should use the "Texas hanky" when they have to sneeze.

3. We'll never know because they can say anything

they want and there is no one to refute them. If they say he's dead, Zawahiri isn't going to argue even if he's alive. If they say they didn't kill him, he still won't argue.

4. I did hear on the news the FBI lab

is anxiously awaiting DNA samples--they are using Zawahiri's brother's DNA as the match. So far no samples, though. Looks like another fizzle.

5. They just have to say it is so

and it is so.

And so it goes.
