"Drone Wars: Somalia becomes the latest front"

I am quoted in Tristan McConnell's GlobalPost piece about drone wars in Somalia.

Here's an excerpt:
David Shinn, a former U.S. ambassador in the Horn of Africa, was also skeptical.

“There’s a debate being had over the utility of drone attacks in Somalia,” he said. “They don’t get you that far, and the targets are not as valuable as in other areas, such as Pakistan.”
