http://www.networkworld.com/communi...choosing-targets-what-could-possibly-go-wrongExternal Quote:Rand Paul is not alone in his concern about the government's drone program and the assassination of Americans without due process. According to a recent Reason-Rupe poll, 57 percent of Americans say it is unconstitutional for the president of the United States to order the killing of American citizens who are suspected of being terrorists. Thirty-one percent believe it is constitutional. (Mike Riggs writes about these results here.)
Fifty-nine percent of Americans are also concerned the government may abuse its power when it comes to its use of drones to kill American citizens who are terror suspects.

Last year, I wrote about the future of drone surveillance and swarms of cyborg insect drones. That article was full of MAV (micro aerial vehicles) that looked like they should be in a B-grade sci-fi flick. In particular, after seeing a freaky video, I'd like to remind you of the U.S. Air Force's bug-sized spies, or "tiny a bumblebees," that would not be detected when flying into buildings to "photograph, record, and even attack insurgents and terrorists."

No doubt this is all politically/morally acceptable even applauded.External Quote:The US is denying accusations it's behind deadly drone strikes in Pakistan last month, saying Pakistan's own military could be to blame. With the US enjoying a virtual drone monopoly, phantom anonymous strikes are becoming a real problem - not least for the nameless victims of the attacks.
