There’s some scary information about US drones that might already have the capabilities to find targets even when they are behind walls.

The drone war over Pakistan is escalating.

Boom. Sept. 4: Seven people killed in a strike on Chaar Kehl, near the Afghan border.

Boom. Sept. 5: Six to 12 more killed in a hit on Al Must.

Boom. Sept. 8: 23 dead and at least 18 wounded in a five-missile barrage on Daande Darpkhel.

Boom. Sept. 12: Twelve more dead in an attack on Tole Khel.

That’s about 50 fatalities in four strikes in a single week, all at the hands of unmanned vehicles.

Several Slate users have been digging into the research.  The important thing to remember is that, once this technology is perfected in the field, the military will bring it home and use it here.
