Do you know if that's happened?

The US has the cooperation of the Pakistani government, which is unable to control the area in question.
So it's not a question of poaching on a sovereign nation without declaring war, but more like policing "with extreme prejudice".
Only persons identified as 'terrorists' are targeted. But the list is secret, and some targets may be entitled to due process before being killed.

the only thing we need now is remote controlled civilians. how sad

How did you become interested in civilian casualties from UAV attacks? Just a news report that stuck in your mind? [Image: hmm.gif]
