UPDATE: According to
the official story told by unnamed officials, those 8 civilians are
now al Qaeda:
“At least nine
al-Qaida militants were killed in an initial drone strike, another
security official said. Both spoke on condition of anonymity”

Also of note, the
raid took place this morning, one day before the other hostage was
reported to be released. That hostage died as well.
“But an aid group
helping negotiate Korkie’s release said he was to be freed Sunday
and his wife was told that “the wait is almost over.” Huffington

The timing of the
raid, just one day before that release, was spurred by a report from
a Yemeni security official who claims he had word that Luke would be
killed today.

It hardly seems like
a story worth reporting on anymore. “At least” eight civilians
killed during a U.S. commando raid in Yemen. The headline at the New
York Times focuses exclusively on the American hostage, Luke Somers,
who also died as a result.
The left is busy
running around protesting the militarization of police departments
and the deaths of a couple unarmed men here in the states and feeling
very good about themselves while they do it… while in the meantime,
the military continues to rain hell down on unarmed civilians across
the world and there isn’t a peep out of the fake left anymore.
