How does remote-controlled technology change the nature of war and surveillance? On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation about unmanned aerial drones. They're being used to drop bombs in Afghanistan and Pakistan, to track smuggling on the borders with Canada and Mexico, to find survivors after disasters, and for domestic surveillance. Who is piloting these drones? You can join us by calling in or by emailing feedback@yourcallradio.org. Is the world better or worse off with this technology? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.
Guests:
Peter Singer, senior fellow and director of the 21st Century Defense Initiative at the Brookings Institution and author of Wired for War
Eric Stoner, a freelance journalist based in New York, and a contributor to Foreign Policy In Focus
