I found this article gave a good sense of what drone attacks really mean for the people in the area, and what it means to be "a member of al-Qaeda" in Yemen, in the eyes of US policymakers: http://america.aljazeera.com/watch/shows/america-tonight/ame...

In my mind, the worst thing about American military attacks in Yemen is that the government refuses to reveal what our policy even is. Everything about them is being kept secret, removing any hope of democratic accountability.



Frontline did something similar w/r/t/ the impact of US drone targeting for AQ in Yemen.

The Frontline Yemen episode was one of the more depressing Frontlines I've ever seen.
