If true, whoever made that decision needs to be tried for treason.<br /><br />Seriously, if you're going to do that, why not choose a known recovery point in friendly territory? Otherwise, it's going to find a place to land in <i>enemy</i> territory, since <i>that's where it's going to be operating</i>.<br /><br />I just want to know what happened to the idea of keeping things secret. Not too long ago, any gizmo that sensitive and that highly classified would have had some C-4 strategically placed and be programmed to self-destruct if it couldn't make it back to the aforementioned recovery point.<br /><br />When did the military forget what "security" means?Jake (formerly Riposte3)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02976718318892210404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-74969757758508163022011-12-10T17:35:53.629-05:002011-12-10T17:35:53.629-05:00Like jetfxer69, I'm in the "need more inf...Like jetfxer69, I'm in the "need more info" camp.<br /><br />But I wonder who was being sent the data from that key-logging software on the controller-computers.RobertSlaughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01642530076378579530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-28669299106204292832011-12-10T13:57:13.321-05:002011-12-10T13:57:13.321-05:00"Gary Francis Robot" made me snarf coffe..."Gary Francis Robot" made me snarf coffee up my nose and drop my cigarette into my beard.

The (ahem) unidentified intelligence agency claims that they "lost control" over the damned thing and were trying to figure out what happened to it.<br /><br />Yet, it appears to have landed, wheels down, safe and sound in Iran.<br /><br />What's wrong with this picture?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
