If it's being used in the commission of a crime I don't think they need the consent of the people to bring it down.



Military actions inside the country without fighting a defensive war is illegal as it can be here..



even more so if against a corporate entity.. If done heads would roll from the politicians down to the brass.

Maybe. People would rather see us win unconstitutional moral victories rather than actually follow the law these days. Our 2 wars kind of prove that. Any sort of attack of that sort is by international law classified as an invasion, or since we re-wrote that rule book, we would fall right under the definition of being a terrorist that we ourselves wrote. Kind of ironic you think about it. Most people don't though because the media has proven it has the tools to change the minds of people to ignoring the law and instead follow the flag, even if it is being waved by a bunch of criminals.

heh.. Not in Sweden, politicians actually resign and get jailed here.. and there is no presidential pardon to be had.. We actually still hold our leaders to a moral standard.

As much as I am a patriot and want what is for the best for the USA there are lines that must not be crossed for a reason. We should not forget that the repercussions can not always be blocked by our bigger military force. Every bully eventually sees his day, we cannot be a nation of vigilantism as that puts just as much chaos into the world as the most evil of power

That and shooting down targets over Sweden would be an act of war against the EU.. Basically leaving you alone against the world.

Drones are only one option, tiny little servers can be put anywhere, they can be carried around by reindeer with collars if it comes to that, hell they could make them waterproof and dump them in the ocean and the wave action could actually power them, hundreds of thousands of them floating around with little antenna trailing behind them, they could stick them on the sides of buses, toss them into garbage dumps, stick them under tables in 5 star restaurants, put them inside touristy crap and let people pay for them and then take them home with them......

We are fast approaching a point where technology will allow for the distribution of information to anyone anywhere...no matter what any nation tries to do to stop it. It's a losing battle for media corporations to try and fight against it, they need to come up with ways to profit in the new order of business....because the old one is dying and is never coming back.

do you really think america is going to risk an open act of war over some companies pocketbook?

how far do you think the government is going to go to protect their investors pocket books?



Um, where have you been for the last decade?

Over ten million dollars has been given to try and elect Newt Gingrich, by one person, because he supports Isreal.

Corporation's are people and America has been sold.

Depends on how much in resources and money the governments are willing to shell out to counter the drones ...

The only people who think the drones would need to be countered, or shot down? are those who do not understand how the intert00bs works.


Oddly enough, this includes the Pirate Bay clowns.


Hint: The physical server is the last place I'd go if I wanted to take out a site on the internet.
