Talking about drones

 |  NCR Today

Global Post takes a close look at drones this morning:

John Brennan, noted drone enthusiast and President Barack Obama's nominee for the next head of the CIA, can't avoid the topic at his Senate confirmation hearing today. And it's not just him: after a leaked memo (now to be handed over to Congress) justifying the US government's death strikes and the exposure of a secret CIA drone base in Saudi Arabia, unmanned aerial vehicles are on everyone's mind.

Did you see Tom Roberts report on drones: The ‘irresistible attractions’ of drones.
