So what has changed New York Times , In 2008, the American drones carried out more than 30 missile attacks against Qaeda and Taliban targets in the tribal areas, according to a report by the Council of Foreign Relations in Washington.
Al Jazeera……”Around 50 to 60 mujahidin [fighters] have been living [at the site of the attack] for about a week. All of them were Uzbeks,” a Taliban official said.

So my guess things really have not changed and to me that is a good thing, I have to wonder who is running the show over there and who ever it is good job!
