Conspiracy? What conspiracy? I was reading Ash-Sharq Al-Awsat, the mouthpiece of Prince Salman, and there was an item on page 3 (January 3rd) on the US use of pilotless drones in Iraq. The article has no byline (it simply says "London-Washington, DC, Ash-Sharq Al-Awsat"), and says in the headline that US drones "succeed in monitoring, identifying, and hitting targets." How did the newspaper know?
