Over at Slate, Ron Rosenbaum has written an interesting missive questioning our absence of debate regarding the morality of drone strikes. I don't know if he coined the term "drone porn" in reference to the now ubiquitous nose-cone videos we've all seen, but the term is a grisly gem.
A choice anecdote from the article:
"The Navy's own special 'Fire Scout' test drone had gotten out of control of the drone-porn jockeys who were remote-piloting it in the vicinity of Patuxent, Md. The drone started wandering erratically toward—and then through—protected Washington, D.C., airspace. It looked like we might be attacked by our own drone! Control was regained before the drone could do any damage."
