4. The predator Drone
Edited on Sun Apr-18-04 07:50 PM by nonbelief
Another pilotless vehicle,the Predator drone, has been used to kill "suspects" in the "War on Terror" in both Yemen and Afghanistan.

In Afghanistan a hellfire missile fired from the remote-controlled CIA drone murdered three scrap-metal collectors. The U.S claimed they were fired on when they raised weapons at the drone. Since the drone was unmanned, there can be no claim of 'self-defence' on the part of the tele-operator who fired that missile, or the superiors who authorized the firing.

Pure simple murder, committed on behalf of every American citizen.
