Live via Satellite: NATO Aerial Surveillance Video

Posted by michael on from the run-another-T-1 dept.

Factomatic writes "The BBC is reporting 'NATO surveillance flights in the Balkans are beaming their pictures over an insecure satellite link - and anyone can tune in and watch their operations live.' All you need is a satellite dish. John Locker tapped into the NATO aerial surveillance feed over the Balkans from England and has been e-mailing, faxing and calling NATO since November to get them to fix the problem. NATO denies it is a problem at all. I wonder if this would work in Afghanistan, too?" No, the article notes that Afghanistan is taking up all the secure communications bandwidth, and operations in the Balkans are getting kicked over to unencrypted channels. We ran an older story about the military's growing bandwidth crunch.

    The most unfair thing about the life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A death. What's that, a bonus?!? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you go live in an old age home. You get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension, then, when you start work, you get a gold watch on your first day. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You drink alcohol, you party and you get ready for High School. You go to primary school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back, you spend your last 9 months floating with luxuries like central heating, spa, room service on tap, then you finish off as an orgasm!!

    To bad 75% of the terrorist money is clean from islamic charities and businesses...

    That's the whole reason they are having so much trouble tracking it, becuase it's clean!

    Anyone who has even been paying a tiny bit of attention would have heard this. Even the Ashcroft has admitted this...

    Seriously the war on drugs was just corny prohibition failed enough already.

    P.S. Who wants to bet $5 the U.S. was actually secretly helping the taliban previous to the african embassay bombings becuase the taliban OUTLAWED HEROIN PRODUCTION in what had previously been the world largest illegal drug exporter. Yes period, colombia nothing... So tell me where all this funding was coming from?

    Oh i know maybe it was like when the CIA was using noriega to fund and launder arms shipments to right wing rebels in central america becuase everyone one was pissing in the boots in terror over communism...

    So what you're saying is:

    • If you buy drugs you're providing justification for the 'war on drugs'
    • The 'war on drugs' has resulted in US money being paid directly to terrorist organisations in Columbia, Afghanistan and South America.
    QED: If you buy drugs, you're supporting terrorisim. The conclusion is logically sound.
