For one, the CIA was essentially allowed to do as they please when it came to drone strikes in Pakistan.  And judging by the killing of hostages Warren Weinstein and Giovanni Lo Porto, we aren’t “nearly certain” of anything.  The only thing that is nearly certain is that nearly nothing has changed over the past two years.  The Obama administration admitted they really don’t know who we’re killing with drones.
