| Jemima Khan donates cameras to Pakistan tribal leaders to record damage done by US drones |
| 2011-10-28 |
| [One Pakistain] Jemima Khan, ...first gained notice in the United Kingdom as a young heiress, the daughter of Lady Annabel and Sir James Goldsmith. She was married to the retired Pakistani cricketer Imran Khan between 1995 and their divorce in 2004. For the next three years, from 2004 to 2007, Khan gained worldwide media attention by sharing the baloney with British film star Hugh Grant. She has nothing to do with pancakes... the former wife of cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan, ... who isn't your heaviest-duty thinker, maybe not even among the top five... has donated cameras to Pak tribal leaders to document the death and devastation caused by US drone attacks in the country's tribal areas, according to a media report. "Rupert!" "Yes, m'lady!" "Send the natives some cameras so they can take pictures of how oppressed they are!" "Yes, m'lady!" A Loya Jirga (Grand Council) of Waziri tribal leaders is being held in Islamabad today, and human rights ...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty... lawyers will distribute an initial batch of 50 cameras to the community leaders, The Times reports. The tribal leaders will be asked to photograph the effects of drone strikes with the cameras, which will show when and where the pictures were taken, and the information will go to a central databank accessible to the public, the report said. The campaign has been organised by Pak lawyers and human rights groups, it added. "We need complete transparency. The burden of proof is on the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to show they are getting it right," Clive Stafford Smith, a British lawyer of the campaign group Reprieve, was quoted as saying. "The cameras will tell the rest of the world what is happening, and who is actually being killed in an area where the flow of information is being controlled and manipulated by the very perpetrators of the killing machine," Mirza Shahzad Akbar, a lawyer representing civilian victims of drone attacks, said. About 2000 people have been killed by missiles fired from remote-controlled drones that are principally operated from Creech Air Force Base in Nevada. The 300th strike in Pakistain since 2004 was made last week, and drones are targeting suspected forces of Evil once every four days in Pakistain's tribal areas. |

| #4 Jemima Khan donates cameras to Pakistan ... With a name like that, wouldn't it be better for her to go to the Israel for a D9 ride along for a remake of 'St Pancake, the manhole cover'? |
