MILITARY TRAINING DRONE PILOTS TO TRACK  CARS ON U.S. HIGHWAYS
THE U.S. AIRFORCE IS SO ASHAMED OF THE WAR CRIMES COMMITTED BY IT'S DRONE PILOTS  IT FORBIDS THEM TO  REVEAL THEIR NAMES!
 - NYT-  When I visited the base earlier this year with a small group of reporters, we were taken into a command post where a large flatscreen television was broadcasting a video feed from a drone flying overhead. It took a few seconds to figure out exactly what we were looking at. A white S.U.V. traveling along a highway came into the cross hairs in the center of the screen and was tracked as it headed south along the desert road. When the S.U.V. drove out of the picture, the drone began following another car. “Wait, you track civilian cars?” a reporter asked. One Air Force officer responded that this was only a training mission, and then the group was quickly hustled out of the room. Though the Pentagon is increasing its fleet of drones by 30 percent and military leaders estimate that, within a year or so, the number of Air Force pilots flying unmanned planes could be higher than the number who actually leave the ground, much about how and where the U.S. government operates drones remains a secret.  The pilots we interviewed wore black tape over their nametags. The Air Force, citing concerns for the pilots’ safety, forbids them to reveal their last names. It is widely known that the United States has three different drone programs. The first is the publicly acknowledged program run by the Pentagon that has been operating in Iraq and Afghanistan. The other two are classified programs run separately by the C.I.A. and the military’s Joint Special Operations Command, which maintain separate lists of people targeted for killing.
