Former New York mayor tells Colombia to use drones against drug cartels and rebels
May 8, 2014 posted by Philip Acuña

The former mayor of New York has encouraged Colombia to start using drones in the country’s fight against crime and drug trafficking, Colombia’s presidential office said on Wednesday.

In a meeting with Colombian president Juan Manuel Santos, former Mayor Rudy Giuliani encouraged the president to start using new technologies such as unmanned aircraft, also known as drones, as a means of reducing crime in the country.

The former mayor suggested using drones to surveil areas of the country where more traditional surveillance measures have not proved effective.

According to the Presidential Office, other suggestions proposed by the mayor in Wednesday’s meeting included better management of crime statistics, more frequent use of DNA evidence in crime investigations, and the creation of a ministry of public safety.

But for those of us who'd rather not read anything about Giuliani, maybe "Former New York mayor..." could read;

"Giuliani says something and the world yawns."

could lob a tennis ball in a sock into that pie hole and effectively block that rude noise.

How on earth could anyone imagine he should become a military advisor to other countries, anyway?
