The drone attacks have sparked severe anti-American sentiment against the Obama Administration.

Meanwhile, the US government has released [doctored] home videos of bin Laden rehearsing for his video addresses. The material was obtained during the raid last week and was released in order to undermine bin Laden’s martyrdom. In the wake of the operation, Pakistanis have expressed concern that the US violated Pakistani sovereignty during its mission to capture bin Laden because it operated without the consent.…
