General Atomics Gets Approval to Sell Predators to Pakistan, Egypt
General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc., the privately held maker of Predator drones, said it has won U.S. approval for an export version of the unmanned plane that Saudi Arabia and Pakistan are interested in buying.
"Mahmoud, these new drones are great!"
"Um, yeah, sure, Achmed, but why is that one flying directly towards us?"
"There's interest from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates," Frank Pace, president of the Poway, California-based company, said in an interview at the Farnborough Air Show near London today.

The U.S. recently approved the company's request for an unarmed version of the Predator drone for export to countries beyond the NATO block, Japan, Australia and New Zealand, Pace said.
I like the idea of the Paks having Predators, so long as the secret software allows us to take control any time we want.
