Assassination is such an ugly word, it carries too many negative connotations. I think Drone Assisted Take-outs is the preferred term at the moment. |
I said "are the future," not "at the moment."
And I was using that for dramatic effect, more than anything else.

the problem with that sort of logic is that you could apply it to any aspect of life.
The army could turn on us at any second.
Police could start arresting people and putting everyone in concentration camps.
What if the power grids go out and a bunch of black people escape from San Quentin and trap music is the only music you will ever hear for the rest of your life. That and they will rape everyone that isn't hispanic.
From the wooden stick , to the nuke, at what point are you going to say , nawww, see that was fine but this isn't.
you can't. The technology will happen. The technology is never the issue. |
I think with all the scenarios you've just described there's an accountability attached to it. The people, who would be responsible for those acts, are right there in front of you. You can blame someone, point a finger at them, defend yourself and attack them.
Sure, there's a system for controlling these drones and some dudes behind a desk in an office are taking orders and executing those orders, but there's no face behind the technology. Anything could happen at anytime to anyone with this technology and no one would have a ing clue where to begin the investigation as to the "who done it?"
Of course the technology is very useful in war—it saves lives. But to implement it here at home is a slippery slope, in my opinion. |

| i don't see the difference. The only issue as you said is accountability. That isn't a drone issue. In terms of not being there doing the murdering. That hasn't stopped genocide in the past. There is less chance of error, more collateralization of intel and a better overall line of communication from planning to implementation. The problem stems from policy, not technology. |

| UAVs are awesome from a U.S. perspective and should be used extensively everywhere, including the homeland. |

Doesn't matter whether they should. It's gonna happen, regardless. Eventually there will be surveillance everywhere. Sucks but it should make things safer, at least. Take solice in the fact that generally, no one cares about you or your affairs, even if they happen to be watching.

Does your boyfriend give you a warning before he lands his load on that runway of a forehead your mother gave you? |

Such a mess. They reported he was dead then came back 30 min later and basically said that they hadn't been able to go in so they don't know for sure if he died or not. |
