P.I.D. Radio 4/15/12: Nuclear Drones




P.I.D. Radio show

Summary: WE DIDN'T actually spend a lot of time discussing a proposal to power America's growing force of drone aircraft with nuclear reactors, but it makes for a catchy title. Imagine, though, the surveillance and strike capability of drones that can stay aloft for years instead of days. The trouble, of course, isn't flying the drones; it's landing them again. The good news is that "political pressures" appear to have killed the program. Also: More calls for intervention in Syria; NATO and US arming Israel for war with Iran; Invisible Children spied for Ugandan government; Balochistan new human rights flashpoint; "fracking" tied to earthquakes; the bizarre death of a Hollywood publicist (and CIA operative?); and Texas hit with four feet of hailstones. You can find links to the stories we discuss at our P.I.D. News page at Facebook (although the new format makes it a little more difficult to sort through them). Please visit the P.I.D. Radio Facebook page, and don’t forget the great Christian podcasters at the Revelations Radio Network.
