A panel composed of former military officials, legal advisors, and others believes that Americas drone strike program could be creating a more unstable, violent world. In a report released today, a group of former military and government officials said that relatively low-risk, increasingly common missile strikes by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) risks increasing instability and escalating conflicts, as other countries emulate Americas strategy of targeting suspected terrorists even outside official war zones. While it said UAVs should be neither demonized nor glorified, it urged the Obama administration to consider the effect they were having on warfare, including a potential slippery slope as other countries consider their own drone programs. After President Barack Obama promised to weigh changes to the program, global security think tank Stimson created a 10-person panel to suggest reforms.
