pass the "Four Compasses" Pub and about 50 metres further on you will see
some iron gates with a small Cafe Diplo sign.  Inside the gate you will

*Monday 10th February - "Drone Technology - A Cause for Concern?" with
Chris Cole*

The issue of the use of armed unmanned vehicles drifts in and out of the
news cycle as individuals are targeted and eliminated in areas of conflict
under the mantle of the War on Terror. A number of civilians have also
become victims of the snipers in the sky. Chris Cole, speaks and campaigns
widely on behalf ofDrone Wars
UK<http://email.sav.co.uk/t/r-l-ptuitc-xthdhuudu-k/> of
which he is  Director. They aim to be a source of information on the
growing use of armed drones and particularly of British drones in use in
Afghanistan <http://email.sav.co.uk/t/r-l-ptuitc-xthdhuudu-u/> since 2007.
He examines some of the moral, strategic and legal questions engendered by
a growing deployment.


We very much look forward to seeing you,

With Best Wishes,

Committee, FLMD
