Deputy EditorHi! I'm the Deputy Editor at Global Voices. I help Solana manage the newsroom, craft editorial policies, and am your go-to-person for our social media accounts. Before joining this amazing community in 2012, I worked as a journalist in Pakistan where I covered war, elections, earthquakes, floods, human smuggling, kidney tourism and some other heavy subjects, always searching for hope in my storytelling. In 2006, I helped launch the country's first English language TV station. In 2009, I produced the first TV series on US-Pakistan relations, called the Disposable Ally. In 2011, I was a Knight Journalism Fellow at Stanford University where I explored creating citizen media generated content for mainstream media in Pakistan through Hosh media. You can find me at airports with my baby daughter Nava while I'm hoping between my two homes – Pakistan and the US or on Twitter @SaharHGhazi.

What if Watertown was Droned?
At 7:15pm, the low buzz of a drone was heard overheard. Seconds later, an enormous explosion engulfed the area, destroying the boat and several nearby homes. Sources say 46 Watertown residents were killed in the missile strike, including 12 children.
……
Of course, that's not what happened. But if it did, wouldn't we find it unconscionable? If so, then why are Americans okay with our government doing this to people in other countries?
A hypothetical narration of a drone targeting the Boston Marathon bombing suspect in Watertown by an American Facebook user based in San Francisco, has gone viral amongst Pakistani Facebook users. Within 24 hours the post was shared more than 5000 times and generated hundreds of comments.
