WOW, drones are too quiet

Predator Drones Could Face Legal Challenges From Human Rights Advocates

Apparently the objective of war is to be loud, noisy and give plenty of notice to what you're hitting. I guess people forget that when you fight insurgents..they hide in civilian locations dressed like civilians. It isn't as if there are bases of insurgents and we simply aren't hitting them.

Hooray for free speech.

The position that Gabor Rona, international legal director of Human Rights First, a U.S.-based group takes here is important.

It shows how far certain groups are willing to go to make America weaker.

Civilian casualties are horrible - I would argue that using a drone is much more effective in saving civilian lives than the conventional approach using bombers to drop weapons and likely as accurate as other methods.

If we are in a war and can not effectively fight and remove our enemies then we will lose that war. How many American civilians could be lost as a result?
