USA USING 'DRONE' AIRCRAFT TO SPY ON IRAN
Sat Feb 12 2005 20:00:05 ET
The Bush administration has been flying surveillance drones over Iran to seek evidence of nuclear weapons programs and detect weaknesses in air defenses, the WASHINGTON POST is planning to splash on Sunday.
Newsroom sources tell DRUDGE: The small, pilotless planes, penetrating Iranian airspace from U.S. military facilities in Iraq, use radar, video, still photography and air filters designed to pick up traces of nuclear activity to gather information that is not accessible to satellites, the officials said. The aerial espionage is standard in military preparations for an eventual air attack and is also employed as a tool for intimidation.
The Iranian government, using Swiss channels in the absence of diplomatic relations with Washington, formally protested the illegal incursions, according to Iranian, European and U.S. officials, all speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.

I should hope so. Tough to destroy nukes if you don't know where they are.
I hope that we are using these over North Korea too.
Rash of UFO sitings over Iran lately...
good
That sounds like a perfect way to give the Iranians some free nukes...
Yea, so?
Send in the BLACK HELICOPTERS!! The mullahs will sh*t!!!
Good catch!
I thought Condi had put this speculation to bed on her whirlwind "World Peace Tour" of hostile communist Europe!
Freedom of the press can be a dangerous thing.
The eagle is watching.
You can hide but you can't run...
Duh!
Why does the WaPo publish this story? I guess to try & smear Bush in some way. Try to get the White house on the defensive. The MSM is just getting more and more anti American every day. What is their deal?
I'm always tempted to ask the gusy who run the controls on the drones if I can just play with those controls for five minutes.
It looks like it would be so much fun.
I'd probably crash it into something, though...
