Polls show that a great majority of Americans support the drone warfare policy of the United States that is transforming the nature of modern warfare. There is such a consensus on the issue that Governor Romney and President Obama agreed with a policy that has been labelled illegal, immoral and ineffective by many.

What most Americans do not appreciate is the fact that the number of drones flying over the US has grown at an alarming rate. Although unmanned planes can serve a good purpose in spotting forest fires, rescue operations and other situations, they are starting to be used for surveillance operations by federal, state and local law enforcement, to the concern of libertarians and other civil rights watchdogs. 

Of particular concern is the fact that some law enforcement officials intend to use armed drones to carry out their work, raising the specter of bringing the drone war home to the US

On November 26 our guest on Taking Back America was FBI whistleblower and antiwar activist Coleen Rowley. She gave us an update on the latest information about the use of drones in America and the world, and what we cand do to oppose it.


This show will be rebroadcast on Saturday, December 8 at 12 PM CST on Star Com Radio network.
 

Take Back America for the People is an educational nonprofit whose mission is to reveal to the American public the true costs of corporate control of the US government.
