Peace Activists Arrested After Protesting US Drones in Nevada
US drone bombings have reportedly killed 687 Pakistani civilians since 2006. During that time, US Predator drones carried out sixty strikes inside Pakistan, but hit just ten of their actual targets. Last week, a group of peace activists last week staged the first major act of civil disobedience against the drone attacks in the United States. Fourteen people were arrested outside the Creech Air Force Base in Nevada, where Air Force personnel pilot the unmanned drones used in Pakistan. We speak with longtime California peace activist Father Louis Vitale, who was among those arrested, and with Jeff Paterson of Courage to Resist. Ref. Source 9

My greatest concern about having drones monitoring us is all the innocent people that might be affected. For instance supposed one of these drones was being manned by the wrong person or somehow intercepted by a hacker. There is just so much room for something bad to go down really fast!
