You would think so-called peace activists would embrace the use of military drones. It removes military personnel from harm’s way and shifts tactical decisions higher up the chain of command to senior officers and civilian officials who are more sensitive to political and media pressure.

'Eye' represents one of two posthumous releases from the late, great Alan Rickman.
