#1 Odd. The photo on that page is not of the "drone." The caption for what's there now reads, "Iraqi Shi'ite Muslim women, clad in black, feel the door of the Imam Kazem Mosque in al Kazemiah, a suburb of Baghdad March 13, 2003 as Shi'ites mark Ashoura, the day some 1,400 years ago the grandson of Prophet Mohammad, Imam Hussein, was killed in a battle with rival Muslim faction in the town of Kerbala south of Baghdad.

So I searched and searched, looking for a photo somewhere. Odd too is that with the extensive coverage of this, only one paper's site had a photo, and that phot showed only part of a wing and propellor. The soldiers next to the drone were more prominently featured.

#3 The pictures of the drone that I saw looked like something my kids came up with in our basement on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Where are the real ones hidden?

#4 Saw the picture. When I was a little kid, they used to give me one of those after I got a haircut.
