Former top CIA lawyer bragged in an interview that he signed off on drone attacks in Pakistan. Most Pakistanis consider those actions acts of terrorism and murder which killed many innocent civilians. Armed with this public admission of guilt, human rights lawyers in the UK and Pakistan are going through the Pakistan legal system to get a judge to issue an arrest warrant, which would then be sent to interpol.

Just because you are a spy working for the US doesn't make your actions legal. These "crimes" were committed within Pakistan's borders. Therefore Pakistani laws apply.
According to a local Pakistani who has been documenting the attacks, "For every 10 to 15 people killed, maybe they get one militant,"

I think this is a great idea and I wish these human rights groups success. Maybe the Iraqi government will issue arrest warrants for George Bush, Dick Cheney and others responsible for starting an unprovoked war in Iraq, which has resulted in hundreds of thousands of civilians deaths and made millions of people homeless refugees.
Wouldn't it be great if all war criminals were held accountable for their actions?
