Hang on.
You're missing the issue.
Whether or not the Senator is an idiot for appearing to confirm something that was (allegedly) already in the public domain, if the locals are peeved that Predators are being flown out of Pakistani bases, that is not because of what the senator said; it's the previous Commander in Chief who authorised this, I would imagine.
If I leave a pile of human shit in your drive-way and my political opponent calls you up to say "your drive-way is full of Daniel's shit", would you be cross with them for telling you, or me for doing it?
Really?
Thought so.
If you worry that the locals don't like what you're doing - don't blame the messenger, blame the policy of doing it, and change that policy.
