Information of every type gleaned from sources everywhere by a rowdy and ribald woman researcher and writer. Everything related to peace in any way is fair game and no attempt is made to have this be a journalistic (at least not in the corporate media sense) endeavor. I'm biased. I'm progressive. I'm female. Live with it.

Drones are State of the Art Death Squad(ron)s
Creech Air Force Base "no drones" protest this coming Monday. When Drones Attack, Civilians Die.
And now these fearless (they can't be hurt, why should they show fear?) virtual (yep it's like a video game to them--virtually) will be produced at an even faster rate with a spin off program for training these valiant 9-5 warriors who live "normal" lives half a world away from those they kill.
Fly boys like McCain dropping death from on high were bad enough when it came to depersonalization of death delivery, but this train in a virtual world and deploy from a video screen takes the impersonal to a level of disconnect that is even more psychotic than war itself.
