Some people may be interested in this article published in Foreign Policy today:

What's Not Wrong With Drones? http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2012/09/05/whats_not_wrong_with_drones

It looks to me like the author blathered inchoate about three moral (read: minor) issues but entirely missed naming a quite pragmatic one: the CIA or other controllers losing control to a hostile actor. This is not implausible, we've already seen some college kids spoof the GPS signal and in Iran, one was landed while under the control of someone else. Or at least, while not under our control. How long until one is used to blow up stuff we don't want blown up? UE
