I don't like the NYT so I'm not going to bother registering, but apparently 'they' intend on deploying this thing to Iraq in the near future:

Terminator? This ain't hollywood... though it might as well be for the operator of one of these things. Finally they get to click n' kill just like fighter pilots.
Just FYI, my reference to Terminatoris not about an Arnold running around killing things, but the subtext of building machines that we may lose control of. What will happen if these things go haywire and start shooting everything that moves? Don't think it won't happen.
