Attack of the Killer Robots

"Robot warriors have already seen action in Iraq, and the US Army plans to replace one-third of its armored vehicles and weapons with robots by 2015. These killing machines may one day come equipped with an artificial conscience -- even to the extent of disobeying immoral orders."
I found this to be a very interesting article (you'll also notice the Honeywell plug, but that's the only reason I found the article in the first place). I found the reference to the "tendency among soldiers to anthropomorphize machines" particularly interesting including the commander that ordered the test that sent a robot into a minefield to be discontinued because it was "inhumane."
Combatants can no longer hide in an area with limited access and try to wait us out.
