Militants in Iraq have used $26 off-the-shelf software to intercept live video feeds from U.S. Predator drones, potentially providing them with information they need to evade or monitor U.S. military operations.
The stolen video feeds also indicate that U.S. adversaries continue to find simple ways of counteracting sophisticated American military technologies.
In the summer 2009 incident, the military found "days and days and hours and hours of proof" that the feeds were being intercepted and shared with multiple extremist groups, the person said. "It is part of their kit now."
Also serves to point out these are not just crazed barbarians as the propaganda frequently shows them to be.

Iranian-backed insurgents intercepted the video feeds in Iraq?
From US intelligence past history, they may as well just said Santa, it probably would have been more accurate.
where is the evidence it was Iranian backed insurgents?

It's no secret that the Iraqi militiants were/are still being backed by iran.

More then likely it was because we could never confirm if it was the Iranian government doing it or if it was just individuals in their country.

Congrats, you have officialy made this my last iraq, war, government, bush, oil, army post. Mostly because you took a simple life experiance that I was sharing with the poster and turned it into somthing hatefull. I truely regret ever posting on this thread. Your all a bunch of closed minded fools. Have fun arguing over whos fault the Iraq war is, and how many diffrent ways we can blame bush. Life is to short to waste on you. Ill be in the alien forums, where people actualy have good reasons to be skeptical about things.
Most terrorists have engineering degrees and are not stupid.

The leaders are psychopaths, but Iran has many talented & educated people, unfortunately some even within the regime.
*SNIP*, and the exact reason why I hate sharing my point of view. I SAID WE SAW THEM COME ACROSS THE IRANIAN BOARDER INTO IRAQ! We JUST DIDNT KNOW WHO WAS BUYING THE CRAP. THATS PROBLY WHY IT DIDN'T HIT MSM. Jesus H tap dancing christ. Can't somone just share some personal life experiance without *SNIP* attempting to tear everything apart! All I wanted to do was give alittle validation to the posters thread. If you don't like it *SNIP* .
