UPDATE: 

Kusuka ku-REPRIEVE:

Owayengumengameli wase-US uGeneral Stanley McChrystal uye waxwayisa ngokuthi uhlelo lwe-drones ye-US ephikisanayo ludala "intukuthelo enkulu" phakathi kwabantu "abangenalutho" ezindaweni ababheke kuzo. Ukugcina kukaMcChrystal ngaphambi kokuthatha umhlalaphansi bekubheke amabutho e-NATO e-Afghanistan, lapho kuhlaselwa khona izidakamizwa.

Ukubuzwa nguhlelo lwe-BBC olusakazwa umsakazo Namuhla ukuthi ikusasa lini ngempi ye-drone, uMcChrystal wakhuluma ngezingozi zokubona uhlelo lwe-drones ngokuthi "i-antiseptic":

"Kukhona ingozi ukuthi into ezwa ukuthi kulula ukuyenza futhi ngaphandle kwengozi kuwe, cishe u-antiseptic kumuntu odubulayo, akazizwa ngaleyo ndlela kuze kube yilapho ethinteka khona. Ngakho-ke uma ihlisa umnyango wokuthatha imisebenzi ngoba ilula, kunengozi kulokho.

"Khona-ke enye ingxenye ikhona umbono wokuziqhenya, kunombono wabantu abangenakuzisiza endaweni edutshulwa njengezifufula ezivela esibhakabhakeni ngumbutho osebenza njengokungathi unomniscience nobukhulu, futhi ungakha inqwaba yentukuthelo phakathi kwabantu, ngisho nangabantu abangabhekene nabo, kodwa nxazonke, ngenxa yendlela ebonakalayo futhi ezwa ngayo.

"Ngakho-ke ngicabanga ukuthi sidinga ukuba siqaphe kakhulu; okuyinto ebonakala sengathi i-panacea ekuthunjweni kwempi akusikho lokho. "

Ukuphawula kukaMcChrystal kungakapheli izinsuku ezimbalwa ngemuva kokuthi i-Yemen isethumele eNhlanganweni yeziZwe ivume ukuthi kudingeke ukuthi kutholakale isikhungo sokululekwa izingane ngoba izinga lokuhlukunyezwa elibangelwa ukuhlasela kweDonone ezweni liphezulu kakhulu.

Lowo owayengumkhuzi wamabutho e-NATO e-Afghanistan ujoyina inani elikhulayo labagxeka ohlelweni lwe-drone oluvela emasosha ase-US, izikhali zezobunhloli nezombusazwe:

URobert Grenier, owayenguMqondisi we-CIA's Counter-Terrorism Center kusuka ku-2004 kuya ku-2006, usanda kubuza: “Mangaki ama-Yemenis angasuswa ngokuzayo ebudloveni obunobudlova ngenxa yeziteleka zemishini ezihlaselwe ngokunganaki, nokuthi mangaki amasosha ase-Yemeni anezinhloso eziqinile zendawo azoba yizitha zaseNtshonalanga ezizinikele ngenxa yezenzo zamasosha ase-US zokulwa nawo [?] ”

Phakathi naleso sikhathi, lowo owayenguSekela likaMongameli we-US e-Yemen, uNabeel Khoury, uye waxwayisa ngokuthi "i-US idala izitha ezintsha ezintsha ezingamashumi amane namashumi ayisishiyagalolunye kuwo wonke ama-AQAP abulawa yi-drones."
