So much to legitimately get worked about, that I don't understand faux outrage. Is it a matter of convenience?

I'd have to agree with this.
First of all, i don't think the CIA should be firing missiles from planes at anyone. That is a military job, not something for an intelligence agency.
Secondly, Pakistan needs to make up its mind. Are you going to help end a major terrorist threat based in your own country or are you going to harbor it? Clan this tribe that.. it doesn't matter. Help or stand aside. Standing in the way = not a good idea.
I can understand outrage over deaths of civilians, but complaining doesn't help. If the Pakistanis want a better job done they're going to need to step up to the plate and help with intelligence and people on the ground which can help to keep such terrible things from happening.
