    Here are the eight operational rules the chiefs recommended: 1. UAV operations require a Certificate of Authorization (CAO) from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

UAVs will only be operated by personnel, both pilots and crew members, who have been trained and certified in the operation of the system. All agency personnel with UAV responsibilities, including command officers, will be provided training in the policies and procedures governing their use. 3. All flights will...

    Here is a video report on a Taliban "Code of Conduct" circulating in Afghanistan and Pakistan. CNN obtained a copy of the book. A couple of the principles in the book mentioned in the report are: 1. Suicide Attacks are to be reserved for "High Value" and "important targets because a brave son of Islam should not be used for low-value and useless targets." In other words - Kill as many as possible and target U.S. Soldiers and Westerners. 2. No exchanging prisoners for money. The "killing can only be decided by the Imam or his deputy." Once again, this...

    The Rabbinical Council of America (RCA) has called on Israel to reevaluate its military rules of war in light of Hizbullah's "unconscionable use of civilians, hospitals, ambulances, mosques and the like as human shields, cannon fodder and weapons of asymmetric warfare." The RCA made the statement at the end of a three-day solidarity mission last week in conjunction with Emunah, the modern Orthodox women's organization, during which a contingent of RCA rabbis toured the North and South, visiting the injured and gathering impressions of the extent of the damage caused by the warfare. Rabbi Basil Herring, executive vice president of...

Executives of Philadelphia's Cradle of Liberty Boy Scout Council announced Monday that they are about to give in to the radical Left after years of pressure to include homosexuals as Scout leaders. The council will soon unveil a new anti-discrimination policy that...
