Suspected U.S. drone strike kills civilians in Yemen, officials say Sanaa, Yemen (CNN) — A U.S. drone strike targeting al Qaeda suspects in Yemen killed 13 civilians, including three women, three security officials in the restive Middle Eastern country said. "This was one of the very few times when our target was completely missed. It was a mistake, but we hope it will not hurt our anti-terror efforts in the region," a senior Yemeni Defense Ministry official told CNN. The official asked not to be named because of the sensitivity of the issue. The United States typically does not comment on reports it has used unmanned aircraft to target terror suspects, but is widely believed to be doing so in Yemen, a key battleground against al Qaeda.

Republican Party Seeks To Limit Drone Surveillance: The 2012 Republican Party Platform advocates Fourth Amendment limits on government drones. “We support pending legislation to prevent unwarranted or unreasonable governmental intrusion through the use of aerial surveillance or flyovers on U.S. soil, with the exception of patrolling our national borders.” Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) and Representative Austin Scott (R-GA), introduced legislation earlier this year to limit aerial drone surveillance. In March, the House approved an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act of 2013, introduced by Representative Landry (R-LA), that prohibits information collected without a warrant by drones operated by the Department of Defense from being used in court. Congressman Ed Markey (D-MA) has also proposed comprehensive legislation for drones . For more information, see EPIC: Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Drones . (Aug. 28, 2012)

How nice it is that we have come a long way from the early days of buzzing a neighborhood at all hours in a noisy chopper with mothership landing lights on board. Made tripping a real adventure and exercise in real paranoia. I remember when Newport Beach got their first whirlypigs as we called then back then in the early 70's. At least you could hear them coming when you were at the beach and hide your stuff before they got close enough.
