So while painting at my new-old house, I made the mistake of listening to back-to-back replays of Fresh Air on the iPod. And I have to say that I was horrified at hearing about the CIA's secret predator drone program. (If you'd rather, you can read about it in the New Yorker ) Who are they killing? Nobody knows--yes, some Al Qaida and Taliban, but also possibly some of the government of Pakistan's internal political enemies. And even worse--they now have little micro-drones that can fly through the window of a house.

They adapted a lot of the technology from video games. Apparently some of the best remote "pilots" are 19 and 20. Ender's Game come true.
