I know why they are so anxious to nail one of these suckers....It has been hard to find a safe place to sleep in Fallujah....They have been terrorized!
Even if this is true it won't do much for their safety.
Watch for a suppression of the press around Fallujah (maybe after the election) and these jokers will have more to worry about than a model airplane.

Actually, one U.S. plan might be to send cheapo drones (stripped of hi-tech hardware) flying overhead, designed to be difficult, but not impossible, to shoot down.
When the drones are shot down (maybe a couple a week) they remain easily detectable at a range of 2-5 miles because of selective radioactive materials (secretly) embedded in the wings and fusealge (sp).
Of course, every Ben Sadr cell leader wants his personal "U.S. Flying Drone" trophy hanging on his mud-hut wall.
The end result is that these previously hidden locations are easily identifiable and trackable by hi-tech U.S. forces.
Dittos, in fact, for ammunition (etc) from "destroyed" vehicles, that's subsequently taken to Ben Sadr covert ammo dumps and logistical sites.
Well ... just a thought.
