bonnie Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Surveillance photo of fugitive former LAPD officer Christopher Dorner (© Rex Features) Report: Fugitive Alleged Killer Is Target Of Police Drone Christopher Dorner, the homicidal former cop currently on the run from the LAPD, is a target of airborne drones on U.S. soil, an anonymous source told London's Express. A senior police source told the Express, “The thermal imaging cameras the drones use may be our only hope of finding him. On the ground, it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack.” The fugitive has already killed three people, according to police, and has a $1 million bounty on his head. Dorner, who has military training, is believed to be hiding in the wilderness of California's San Bernardino Mountains, where locating him without air support may be all but impossible. Editor's note: This story originally included a report that customs officials had confirmed the use of drones. The LAPD has offered no confirmation (or denial) of drones in the hunt for Dorner. The Atlantic also refutes The Express' claim that Dorner is the first person on U.S. soil to be hunted by a drone. In 2011, a North Dakota county sheriff used a drone to stalk three alleged cow thieves. msnNOW.com, Quote Everything you do is based on the choices you make.

Ted Oplinger Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 And just in time to test Obama's new directive. Question is - how many innocent people will become "collateral damage" in the effort to get this one man? Who will be held accountable should the missile strike be ordered - and it hits the wrong person? the wrong house? the wrong car? A significant error probability, plus facelessness and unaccountability, equals a soullessness never before seen. Even a dictator's terror squads of the 20th century meant a face could be put to the squad member - and the possibility of accountability if things went very wrong. What has America descended to? Blessings, Quote "As iron sharpens iron, so also does one man sharpen another" - Proverbs 27:17 "The offense of the cross is that the cross is a confession of human frailty and sin and of inability to do any good thing. To take the cross of Christ means to depend solely on Him for everything, and this is the abasement of all human pride. Men love to fancy themselves independent. But let the cross be preached, let it be made known that in man dwells no good thing and that all must be received as a gift, and straightway someone is offended." Ellet J. Waggoner, The Glad Tidings "Courage is being scared to death - and saddling up anyway" - John Wayne "The person who pays an ounce of principle for a pound of popularity gets badly cheated" - Ronald Reagan

Moderators lazarus Posted February 13, 2013 Moderators Posted February 13, 2013 At least Dick Cheney is consistent unlike most conservatives on this drone issue. Where were conservatives on suspension of Habius Corpus, Wiretapping and the detention of American citizens without due process. Folks are only exited because its a democrat who is doing it now. Seems like tyranny is ok when the tyrant is conservative. Quote Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence. Einstein

I do agree about the hypocrisy though, more of it coming from libs though. Quote
Moderators lazarus Posted February 14, 2013 Moderators Posted February 14, 2013 I guess you didn't know that Lincoln stopped Habius Corpus until after the war. He restored it! Bush nor Obama have restored it. Conservatives don't seem to care but their crying about drones. Weird. Quote Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities.
