Rise of the Drones

Rise of the Drones
Is there a drone in your neighborhood? Mail Online article helps Americans out by publishing a Google Map with locations of 63 active drone bases already in the United States. Their locations were revealed following a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. "The unmanned planes – some of which may have been designed to kill terror suspects – are being launched from locations in 20 states. Most of the active drones are deployed from military installations, enforcement agencies and border patrol teams, according to the Federal Aviation Authority," informs the article. The factual delivery shouldn't lull Americans into believing this is for their security! The article explains,"most of the drones are likely to be small craft, such as the Draganflyer X8, which can carry a payload of only 2.2lb." (Note: the dragonfly is a natural predator) It's little wonder Napolitano lost his program after Lew Rockwell said drones could be used to execute anyone at any time!
