Assuming a technological advantage: FAIL

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/8419147.stm

I've been predicting for some time that remotely operated drones won't be the wave of the future, because they can be co-opted. In this case, apparently, it's the result of stupidity rather than a technological defeat. But there will come a time when digital command and control are a liability. One hopes the military planners in the civilized world have planned for this. Given the above, I have my doubts.
