“The Pentagon — driven by ‘a near insatiable demand for drones’ — is training hundreds of operators to join the corps of more than 1,300 currently stationed at more than a dozen bases across the country. Surveillance drones operated by domestic police agencies are already plying the skies above us. Those robot aircraft can be upgraded to airborne weapons platforms, and they soon will. The people being trained to feel ‘no emotional attachment’ to foreigners designated enemies of the state will feel no particular burden when ordered to kill fellow Americans on that list.”
