Oops! That was the old deal

Drone kills Taliban chief Hakimullah Mehsud;

Pakistani officials accuse U.S. of ‘sabotage’
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Pakistan's interior minister on Friday accused the United States of attempting to “sabotage” efforts to hold peace talks with the Pakistani Taliban after a suspected U.S. drone strike killed several senior leaders of the militant group, including the group’s leader.

The strike, the second in northwestern Pakistan this week, occurred Friday evening in North Waziristan. According to local intelligence officials, several Taliban commanders, including leader Hakimullah Mehsud, were meeting there to discuss how to proceed with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s effort to hold peace talks.
That deal was offered up a long time ago. You don't get unlimited immunity until you decide if you want it or not. And besides, we don't need Pakistan's permission to kill terrorists. That was the last guy.
