AP Exclusive: U.S. Military Analysts Who Examined Iraqi Drones Discount Bush Administration View the Unmanned Aircraft Can Sprea

By Dafna Linzer and John J. Lumpkin Associated Press Writers
Published: Aug 24, 2003

Huddled over a fleet of abandoned Iraqi drones, U.S. weapons experts in Baghdad came to one conclusion: Despite the Bush administration's public assertions, these unmanned aerial vehicles weren't designed to dispense biological or chemical weapons.

The evidence gathered this summer matched the dissenting views of Air Force intelligence analysts who argued in a national intelligence assessment of Iraq before the war that the remotely piloted planes were unarmed reconnaissance drones.

3. Of course the Bushies are lying; however,
hobbyists have recently succeeded in flying a remote-control airplane across the Atlantic and I do believe that drones could be used in some way by terrorists. The bottom line is that no technology can prevent war and terrorism--only justice and understanding can do that and the BFEE does not want justice and understanding. They can only profiteer with a reign of chaos.
