Report: US Overwhelmed by Air Force Drone Intelligence
------------------------------------------------------



The New York Times reports the military is being overwhelmed by the
amount of video captured by drones. Air Force drones collected nearly
three times as much video over Afghanistan and Iraq last year as they
did in 2007. It would take twenty-four years to watch what was recorded
last year by the drones. And that volume is expected to multiply in the
coming years as drones are added to the fleet and as some start using
multiple cameras to shoot in many directions.
