5. If they're just observing couldn't they just use a Cessna with a news-cam attached?

I'll bet for $5000 they could get a really nice remote control plane
and a Nikon to do the job.

Why do these people think they can build a drone that costs $200M
and then argue not to cut the defence budget?

We deffinately live in two different worlds

Duh, feed the people or build a drone?
This is going to be a toughie!
Nope! Logic: If we don't build drones to protect our people
there will be no people to feed! Brilliant!
