When the HBO drama The Newsroom recently premiered on his second season, took Barack Obama's sky go drone program front position among the different plots. But the American series to be there was little explanation about the U.S. unmanned bombing of enemies in Pakistan and Yemen.
U.S. intensified drone program from 2004 to 2010 (the last year, the number sky go of attacks declined in some places, sky go according to the New York Times) and criticism of the program has made this robotic technology to the public domain.
Thus, the drones also included pop culture. Scientologist and moneymaker Tom Cruise not only had with him Susanne sky go Sundfør music in his scifi movie of the year, Oblivion, his closest colleague and partner in the field was a drone that helped sky go to clear evil dangers of the road.
In terror and nakkeskuddorgien Olympus Has Fallen - otherwise a surprisingly good action movie - must Secret Service agent Gerard Butler defeating North Korean terrorists who attacked the White House with drones and taken the president to catch.
The Newsroom has a realistic approach to drones, while Tom Cruise and Gerard Butler are using technology to intimidate or pseudo-peek into the future. Drone - Friend or Foe? It can be selected even when the screenwriter in Hollywood.
Earlier this year, The Way of the Knife: The CIA, a Secret Army, and a War at the Ends of the Earth (puh!) by New York Times reporter sky go Mark Mazzetti. In The Way Of The Knife follow his development after 9/11, where the classic Cold War CIA has become a paramilitary organization where drone attacks have taken the driver's seat of the collection of information. Mazzetti study the internal battles between the CIA and the U.S. military, and is especially good when he draws lines from the first known drone assassination in 2004 (Nek Mohammad Wazir and two children were killed by a U.S. drone on June 18) to the attack on Anwar al-Awlaki in Yemen in 2010.
The latter was the first time the Obama administration appointed a U.S. citizen who aims for a drone attack, and specific case explains why the U.S. is now killing their own citizens. Where specific case appears occasionally not critical (he got a scratch in the paint in 2010 when he sent a note from colleague Maureen Dowd to the CIA before it was printed) or neutral, depending on the browser itself stands, meet Jeremy Scahill U.S. critics with brick Dirty Wars: The World is a Battlefield. Jeremy Scahill, as much activist star as journalist (think a mix of a young Erling Borgen and Justin Bieber's manager Scooter Braun), broke through with Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army (2007), a massive book about the private company which turned up on missions in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Dirty Wars is a thoroughly researched book, but is fragmented and sometimes heavy reading in all its detail. Scahill is keen opponent of American warfare, but unlike other allies he argues with reasoning and facts rather than emotion.
The film version of Dirty Wars now travels around the festivals and special views, and there is every reason to believe that it gets Norwegian views and a lot of attention here at home during the year. We must however return to 2009 and Peter Warren Singer for a thorough bakgrunnsbok for drone technology's history. Behind the dry titled Wired for War: The Robotics Revolution and Conflict in the 21st Century we find a great knowledge of military history sky go and geeky pop culture references.
In Wired for War referred 80s movie War Games and The Matrix as much as interviews with iRobot engineers who develop drones. And did you know that Marilyn Monroe was discovered when she spray painted drone-like, remote-controlled aircraft in a factory in the 40s?
I heard Singer, who works at the independent Washington think tank Brookings, participate in a debate at the National Press Club in Washington earlier this year, and then he emphasized several times that no matter how science fiction we think drones are, it is based on old technology. It is legal that is new. Article continues below the video
U.S. drones used during the Vietnam War, and already during World War II experimented with armed aircraft that pilots could catapult out of so they were unmanned. However, there is first the last decade they have some kind of law that allows one to bomb and kill anyone anywhere in the world.
To understand the legal processes behind this seemingly sky go absurd sky go new practice, one can also cough up 500 million for Targeted Killings: Law and Morality in an Asymmetrical World by Claire Finkelstein, Jens Ohlin and Andrew Altman. A cheap price to understand a little more the next time you read a dramatic story about America's controversial drone program.
