Thom Hartmann: The Drone Industry wrote the legislation governing its use



Lee Fang, RepublicReport.org joins Thom Hartmann. Look up in the sky - and you're bound to see a few clouds, a bird or two - maybe a plane. But over the next eight years - you'll be seeing something else flying in the air...drones. Thanks to a new law passed by Congress - our skies are about to open to domestic surveillance drones - similar to those drones flying above Afghanistan - Pakistan - and God knows where else - killing so-called terrorists. So why exactly are they needed - and who's behind this push for drones above the United States?
