In response to a question from military personnel at MacDill AFB, Fla., Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld expressed concern about weapons entering Iraq from Iran. Saying weapons from Iran “of recent vintage” did not “just walk” into Iraq, Rumsfeld questioned the commitment of Tehran to keeping arms out of the country. “They were brought in. With what degree of complicity or lack of complicity of the government is something that one can’t know with certainty at this stage.”
The computer code that runs the MQ-9 Reaper drone will be overhauled in the next two years to test revolutionary new tools that would make its software “much, much harder to hack,” the Air Force says.
