The story:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States is building a ring of secret drone bases in the Horn of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula as part of an aggressive campaign against al Qaeda affiliates in Somalia and Yemen, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday, citing U.S. officials.

Um…yeah, yeah, they’re for al Qaeda. That’s right. We’re just fighting terrorism is all. Pay no attention.

Or maybe they’re using code secret drone bases.
