Speaking of Keith Laumer's BOLO stories. . .

Danger Room - Wired Blogs: "Robots have been roaming the streets of Iraq, since shortly after the war began. Now, for the first time -- the first time in any warzone -- the machines are carrying guns.

After years of development, three 'special weapons observation remote reconnaissance direct action system' (SWORDS) robots have deployed to Iraq, armed with M249 machine guns. The 'bots 'haven't fired their weapons yet,' Michael Zecca, the SWORDS program manager, tells DANGER ROOM. 'But that'll be happening soon.'"
