\"Predator\"IT APPEARS that regardless of who wins the United States presidential election nine days from now, our drone war against suspected terrorists (and anyone within an acceptable radius, from a collateral damage standpoint) will continue without interruption<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The CIA wants more drones and more places to launch them<\/a>, the White House will still have a secret capture\/kill list<\/a>, and if you dare question the moral or constitutional justification for killing four-year-old girls over there to limit the possibility that four-year-old girls here get killed<\/a>, well, you’re “a horrible moron.”<\/a><\/p>\n

Also: Fiscal cliff ahead; head of Bank of England admits that banks don’t have enough capital; Sandy takes aim at East Coast; and something falls into a Mexican volcano.<\/p>\n

Forgive us — we forgot to come back to the creepy story<\/a> of the drone that “started its engine without any human direction, even though the ignition had been turned off and the fuel lines closed. Technicians concluded that a software bug had infected the ‘brains’ of the drone, but never pinpointed the problem.”\u00a0 Obviously, there’s a Cylon in your future.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Adam Curry for inspiring the title.<\/em><\/p>\n
