al-Qaeda's 22 Tips and Tricks To Dodge Drones
Dr Max writes "Ever wonder how al-Qaeda operates under the watchful eye of the U.S. Army? Well, the Associated Press found a list of 22 of their tips and tricks on avoiding drone strikes. Most of it consists of the obvious: stay in the shadows or under thick trees, don't use wireless communications. However, there are also some less obvious solutions, like the $2,595 Russian 'sky grabber, which can track the drones. Their document (PDF) also suggests covering your roof and car with broken glass. They also claim good snipers can take out the reconnaissance drones, which fly at a lower level. Now the question is: will all of this still be relevant during the robo-apocalypse?"
Obama cries on national TV over murdered children in Connecticut, while he is actively murdering hundreds of brown children in Pakistan, fucking hypocrite.
Rules of Engagement? They only come into play with internal politics and beuracracy, like when they fuck up and the word gets out. If the reporters and collateral civilian damage is all dead and there's no one to report, or its the right target TM, and the guy is sure pulling the trigger the reports always say "this was a perfect mission, 100% success"... And a medal of honor gets given out.
RoE my ass.
