Good Bye Blue Sky

[alice malice]

Nine months after Congress delivered its mandate to the FAA, a strike
in northeast Pakistan -- one of more than 300 ordered in the country
since Obama took office -- killed a sixty-seven-year-old woman picking
okra outside her house. At a briefing held last year on Capitol Hill,
the woman's thirteen-year-old grandson, Zubair Rehman, spoke to a
group of five lawmakers. "I no longer love blue skies," said Rehman,
who was injured by shrapnel in the attack. "In fact, I now prefer gray
skies. The drones do not fly when the skies are gray."
