war crimes

Combat robots and computerized missile launchers may one day be better soldiers than humans because they are programmed with ethical behavior and will never engage in friendly fire. You learn about all this and more from videos just posted from the awesome Technology in Wartime conference, held two weeks ago at Stanford's Center for Internet and Society, and organized by Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility. (Caveat: I'm the Vice President of CPSR, and helped organize this conference.)

As George Bush made his appearance and speech today at the United Nations in NYC, 1,000 people issued a citizen's arrest warrant against him for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Our military is being abused like a rented mule. We are at war with Afghanistan, Iraq and have lingered in past war torn nations like Germany and Korea for decades. Our military is at the breaking point. The fighting force of America is stretched so thin that it is dangerous. Now the Bush regime is looking towards Iran as the next country to be conquered in their futile desire for full spectrum dominance.
