In part two of our interview with Human Rights Watch Asia senior researcher, Ali Dayan Hasan, he describes the work Asia Times reporter Syed Saleem Shahzad was doing when he was kidnapped, murdered and tortured in May, allegedly by state security forces. He also discusses the impact of drones, U.S. aid, and the case of CIA contractor Raymond Davis on Pakistani attitudes toward the United States. "The drones are not at all what causes the greatest number of civilian casualties in Pakistan if you look at the theater of war," says Hasan. "But the fact is they are a lightening rod for anti-Americanism."
