Using drones: principles, tactics and results (amended title)

[davidbfpo]

A new film on drones, 'Eye in the Sky' is about to be released here and WoTR's reviewer, Professor MLR Smith writes:

.....we have the first concentrated cinematic dissection of the acute moral and political dilemmas that drone warfare generates. Part of the film’s novelty is that the action takes place over the course of a few hours in a day....(later)...perhaps the most powerful and intelligent of films of the post-9/11 epoch.

The director, Gavin Hood, has been interviewed by the Drone Center @ Bard College (NY State):

The film, which stars Helen Mirren, Alan Richman, Aaron Paul, and Barkhad Abdi, centers on the decision-making process known as the “kill chain” in a counterterrorism operation, and raises questions about the consequences of drone strikes, as well as the the moral, ethical and strategic dimensions of the targeted killing program. We spoke with Gavin about what he sought to achieve with the film.
