Wackos like James Bamford promote a rediculous conspiracy theory alledging that as far back as 45 years ago the Department of Defense could fly unmanned aircraft.

Are authors like Bramford perpetuating a terrible lie? Are they feeding off the paranoid delusions of innocent Americans? Should they be stopped? This is the kind of stuff that contributes to nutbag consipiracy theories and causes people to falsely mistrust our goverment. The question is, should proponents of these fairytales be held accountable under the patirot act or other homeland security regualtion?

Faked Document available here.

I doubt the rest of the this document but the US Army was remotely piloting planes in WW II.

A number of modified Tiger Moths were developed for special roles. A radio-controlled target tug version of the Tiger Moth II called the Queen Bee was built with nearly 300 in service at the start of the Second World War.

Actually this has been out for years and is readly understandable when you consider that the west had no reason to honour their pledges re Cuba and that it presented a permanent base 90 miles from Florida. Witness the hysteria of the botched assassination attempt on Fidel...no one was thinking too clearly and I must admit that from a strategic point of view, I’d have loved to deny the Russians Cuba.
