armchair warriors who want to burn indignant afghani citizens seem to
forget why we're even there... to win their hearts and minds over by
destroying their most extreme elements, neglecting the fact that recent
u.s. deaths are directly attributable to an act of our own ignorance, these
armchair warriors castigate administration efforts to contain this
escalating conflict./neocons to dumb to realize that ahminadoody's rhetoric
is nothing more than bully posturing. he's nothing more than kahmeni's sock
puppet, think iran's gonna nuke the site of one of their most holy of
shrines - jerusalem's dome on the rock... aside from the fact the
atmosphere's blowback from nuclear fallout would cost the region dearly/

iran, they're now beating the drums for a new war against iran, this time
israel wants to call the shots on our dime, celebrates the sacrifices made
by others during that war but couldn't be counted on to contribute a plug
nicklewhile allowing the inevitable task of nation rebuilding to us (on our
dime). lost in a nostalgic fog with romanticized notions of ww2./altho they

Heads up: Drones are going mainstream. Civilian cousins of the unmanned
military aircraft that have tracked and killed terrorists in the Middle
East and Asia are in demand by police departments, border patrols, power
companies, news organizations and others wanting a bird's-eye view that's
too impractical or dangerous for conventional planes or helicopters
Drones overhead could invade people's privacy. The government worries they
could collide with passenger planes or come crashing down to the ground,
concerns that have slowed more widespread adoption of the technology,
pressure is building to give drones the same access as manned aircraft to
the sky at home.Along with the enthusiasm, there are qualms. "It's going to
be the next big revolution in aviation. It's coming," says Dan Elwell, the
Aerospace Industries Association The ShadowHawk can be equipped with a 40
mm grenade launcher and a 12-guage shotgun, according to its maker,
Vanguard Defense Industries of Conroe tx, doesn't sell the armed version in
the United States, interest from law-enforcement entities for deployment
of nonlethal munitions from the aircraft," in all sizes, from the
high-flying Global Hawk with its 116-foot wingspan to a hummingbird-like
drone that weighs less than an AA battery and can perch on a window ledge
to record sound and video. Lockheed Martin has developed a fake maple leaf
seed, or "whirly bird," equipped with imaging sensors, that weighs less
than an ounce. Potential civilian users are as varied as the drones
themselves. Power companies want them to monitor transmission lines.
Farmers want to fly them over fields to detect which crops need water.
Ranchers want them to count cows. Journalists are exploring drones'
newsgathering potential. The FAA is investigating whether The Daily, a
digital publication of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. (NWSA), The aerospace
industry forecasts a worldwide deployment of almost 30,000 drones by 2018,
The hungriest market is the nation's 19,000 law enforcement agencies.
Customs and Border Patrol has nine Predator drones mostly in use on the
U.S.-Mexico border, and plans to expand to 24 by 2016. Officials say the
unmanned aircraft have helped in the seizure of more than 20 tons of
illegal drugs and the arrest of 7,500 people since border patrols began six
years ago. a low-cost alternative to buying a helicopter or fixed-wing
plane," said Michael O'Shea, the department's aviation technology program
manager. A small drone can cost less than $50,000, about the price of a
patrol car with standard police gear, police departments must get FAA
waivers and follow much the same rules as model airplane hobbyists: Drones
must weigh less than 55 pounds, stay below an altitude of 400 feet, a small
drone can be "a huge threat" "We don't want the Microsoft pilot who has
never really flown an airplane and doesn't know the rules of how to fly,"
Military drones designed for battlefields haven't had to meet the kind of
rigorous safety standards required of commercial aircraft. Deputies with
the Mesa County Sheriff's Office in Colorado can launch a 2-pound
Draganflyer X6 helicopter from the back of a patrol car. The drone's
bird's-eye view cut the manpower needed for a search of a creek bed for a
missing person from 10 people to two, said Ben Miller, who runs the drone
program. The craft also enabled deputies to alert fire officials to a
potential roof collapse in time for the evacuation of firefighters from the
building.The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office, north of Houston, used a
Department of Homeland Security grant to buy a $300,000, 50-pound
ShadowHawk helicopter drone for its SWAT team. The drone has a high-powered
video camera and an infrared camera that can spot a person's thermal image
in the dark. "Public-safety agencies are beginning to see this as an
invaluable tool for them, just as the car was an improvement over the horse
and the single-shot pistol was improved upon by the six-shooter," said
Chief Deputy Randy McDaniel, who runs the Montgomery drone program. The
ShadowHawk can be equipped with a 40 mm grenade launcher and a 12-guage
shotgun, according to its maker, Vanguard Defense Industries of Conroe,
Texas. The company doesn't sell the armed version in the United States,
although "we have had interest from law-enforcement entities for deployment
of nonlethal munitions from the aircraft," The possibility of armed police
drones someday patrolling the sky disturbs Terri Burke, executive director
of the Texas chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union. "The
Constitution is taking a back seat so that boys can play with their toys,"
Burke said. "It's kind of scary that they can use a laptop computer to zap
people from the air." ACLU report said allowing drones greater access takes
the country "a large step closer to a surveillance society in which our
every move is monitored, tracked, recorded, and scrutinized by the
authorities."/Paducah Sun reports ( ) that Enix told the man - who did not

whole lot of nobody's business. However, Santorum and that all-male panel
of pontificates at the recent congressional hearing make clear that silence
is not an option-laying out the ‘facts’ would suffice to change politicized
minds, and especially Republican ones. It was a typically wonkish, liberal
revelation: One based on statistics and data. Only this time, the data were
showing, rather awkwardly, that people ignore data and evidence - and
often, knowledge and education only make the problem worse-In this great
meritocracy of ours, those of us who’ve made it through college are
encouraged to feel like we’re something special…. It sounds weird and
counterintuitive, but in my work with progressive organizations, I’ve
noticed some specific ways in which the kind of thinking we learned in our
classrooms actually makes us kinda dumb politically. Here are a few places
college grads often seem to get led astray by their own educations-Teachers
have long been prone to being the tool of other people’s actions … To
