"...the new surveillance systems allow the operators of the unmanned Predators to locate and identify individual human targets "even when they are inside buildings. ... The technology gives remote pilots a means beyond images from the Predator's lens of confirming a target's identity and precise location."

Utter hogwash and basement liberal science fiction fantasy. Look who the "source" is. And, let's not forget the un-named "US officials".

Predator drones? Sure. Looking through rooftops and identifying living humans with enough certainty to pull the trigger? Don't make me laugh.

I know that DARPA is always way ahead of the technological edge in military weapons development, but do you honestly believe that any of those folks would trust a "US official" with that knowledge?

Didn't Roy Scheider use that gizmo in Blue Thunder?

And it was filmed in L.A.

And the L.A. Times prints this story.

I feel a Conspiracy coming on. My leg is tingling like Obama’s mouth when he sees a TelePrompter.

Amen. It's more than slightly possible that some folks in the White House gave Blabbermouth Bob some "hush-hush info" about our alien technology spy plane to protect some less-sophisticated, but more reliable sources, like informants on the ground, electronic eavesdropping and/or Special Operations personnel.

Actually, STTW has been in development for a few years now. Do a Google search.

Utter hogwash and basement liberal science fiction fantasy.

The concepts culminating in "Predator drones" was utter hogwash and basement liberal science fiction fantasy not all that long ago. Pilotless armed flying machines controlled from techs on the other side of the planet, able to watch & terminate nighttime activities miles from the drone? riiiiiiight...
