Activists challenge robotic warfare and growth of drone industry in Columbia Gorge
The manufacture of unmanned drones for the military is a growing industry in the Columbia Gorge, with Boeing/Insitu now employing nearly 700 people. Guests, Theresa North and Susan Garret Crowley of Hood River, and Peter Lumsdaine, of The Alliance to Resist Robotic Warfare and Society (ARROWS), have been active in raising concerns about the local and global costs of pursuing robotic warfare. Peter describes a conference that will be taking place at Hood River from April 16-19: "Challenging Robotic Warfare and Social Control." More info at Columbia River Fellowship for Peace, and in P.W. Singer's 2009 book: Wired for War. See also Jane Mayer's in depth look at drone warfare, "The Predator War," in the Oct. 26, 2009, New Yorker Magazine. Host: Stephanie Potter.
