Mohammed hero drone commander of the Pakistani Army. Man 1: Stupid drone court makes me sick. Dronin's fun cuz it's illegal. Man 2: Still is. This is just for show. Man 1: Your honor, we wanna whack this Christianist nut in Nebraska. What if he attacks Pakistani interests? Man 3: Ok. Now, who's speaking for the defendant...? Men: Nobody! Man 1: Hellfire away! I thought only Al Merica used rubber stamp kangaroo courts. Like their "FISA" thing... Man 2: Think of it as a chance to get away from the joystick.
