Papantonio: Drones – Coming To A Backyard Near You

The use of military drones overseas has received a lot of attention in the progressive media over the last year, but everyone has missed the fact that private corporations are beginning to sell and use drones here in America. Whether it is to provide surveillance along our borders, or keep an eye on activist groups, drones are becoming a cash cow for the arms industry, and the same companies who profited from our invasion of Iraq are now cashing in on the drone boom. Mike Papantonio discusses the domestic drone complex with author, pundit, and progressive icon Jim Hightower.
