A virus has infected America's drone fleet, Wired's Noah Shachtman reports. It logs every keystroke operators type from their base in Creech Air Force Base in Nevada, but that hasn't halted their missions. Though the military hasn't found any incidents of the virus sending information to an outside source, they haven't been able to get rid of it. Shachtman explains:
The U.S. has increasingly relied on drones to carry out the war on terror in Afghanistan in recent years.  Al Qaeda YouTube preacher Anwar al-Awlaki was killed last month by a drone strike in Yemen.
