"Whatever happened on Dec. 12, it was not a "targeted killing" -- the language President Barack Obama's administration often uses to describe drone strikes -- nor was it consistent with the White House's claim that the strikes are only carried out when civilians will not be caught in the crossfire. It's not just a matter of the morality of the drone program: The confirmed deaths of noncombatants in this strike will set back anti-al Qaeda efforts everywhere in Yemen, and its effects will only be exacerbated by the restive area where it occurred."
