Drone pilots face battlefield demons Posted: 07 Nov 2013 04:24 AM PST But war is rarely so simple, and distance does nothing to numb the emotional impact of taking a life, said Slim (who is referred to here by his Air Force call sign in order to protect his identity). "People think we're sitting here with joysticks playing a video game, but that's simply not true," Slim, who retired from the Air Force in 2011, told LiveScience. In video games, players rarely make a human connection with the characters on their screen, but Predator drone operators often monitor their targets for weeks or months before ever firing a weapon, he added. Arguably, the first weapon to give humans standoff distance in battle was the bow and arrow, said Missy Cummings, an associate professor of aeronautics and engineering systems at MIT in Cambridge, Mass., and director of the school's Humans and Automation Laboratory.

Newly-elected Pakistan Taliban leader's group shot Malala Posted: 07 Nov 2013 08:59 AM PST Miranshah (Pakistan) (AFP) - The Pakistani Taliban appointed a hardline cleric linked to the attack on Malala Yousafzai as their new chief Thursday and dismissed proposed peace talks with the government as a "waste of time". Maulana Fazlullah, notorious for leading the militants' brutal two-year rule in Pakistan's northwestern Swat valley, was elected to replace Hakimullah Mehsud, who was killed in a US drone strike last Friday. The choice of Fazlullah by the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) ruling council appears to have sunk government plans for peace talks to try to end the militants' bloody six-year insurgency.
