Opportunity Missed

CNN reporter Brent Sadler, currently on assignment in Afghanistan, filed this report last week about a recent chance to view the USAF's Predator drones up close and in person:

As I stood talking into a camera on a remote airstrip in Kandahar, a Predator drone circled the sky, putting me into its sights with its high-precision cameras -- and just a trigger away from being turned into the charred remains of a Hellfire missile.

Better luck next time.
