US Military Considers DRONE Cutbacks - huh?

(hmm, are "they" succumbing to public pressure and awareness, or are there still some good factions left within the military)

Langley Air Force Base - The Pentagon for the first time is considering scaling back the massive build-up of drones it has overseen in the past few years.

It would be both to save money and to adapt to changing security threats and new areas of operation - such as east Asia - where drones are more likely to be detected and shot down.

If the Pentagon does slow the huge building and deployment program, it won't affect CIA drone strikes in Pakistan, Yemen and elsewhere against terror suspects.
