Drone strikes on Pakistan hit 100
Activists in Pakistan said they were deeply disappointed that the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize winner had escalated the use of CIA drones against Taliban and al-Qaeda militants.

Zeeshan-ul-Hassan Usmani, who monitors reported attacks for the Pakistan Body Count website, said: "If you thought Barack Obama was going to be a different sort of president, well he's doing what George Bush was doing -- and worse -- and it is we Pakistanis who are paying the price."
The question, and death is not an option: is Usmani a misguided do-gooder under the control of Media Matters, or is he a callous tool of al-Qaeda? Discuss.
Four drone attacks at the weekend take the total to 101 since Obama took office 18 months ago — compared with 45 in the preceding five years, according to statistics compiled by the New America Foundation.

Up to 1,100 people have been killed in that period.
