Why did they target this convoy?

Well, according to the U.S.

government, they had received intel that on that day, in this convoy, was an al-Qaeda operative.

Who apparently had been planning attacks against the U.S.

That's why they took the shot.

And in fact, they say that he was wounded in this wedding convoy strike.

I have no reason to believe it.

Greg spent weeks in Yemen, talked to survivors of the drone strike.

Talked to people who were there.

And Greg says the guy isn't really a member of either of the tribes that were involved in the wedding.

And so to him... It makes no sense that he would be there.

To him, this was a terrible mistake.

But what really got me interested in Greg's reporting, which you can read on BuzzFeed.com, highly recommend it, is that he goes really deep into the question of like what the U.S.

Because the question is like, what do you do in this case?

How do you repair something like this?

When you have two totally different cultures with two different traditions, how do you find a way to try to make this right?
