Case to Step Down from AOLTW
squiggleslash writes "Reuters is reporting that Steve Case, the CEO of AOL Time Warner, is resigning, to be effective in May. He'll still be part of AOLTW but as a director responsible for joint strategy. There have been various moves afoot to oust the man who masterminded AOL's takeover of the media giant: the Time Warner part of the partnership wants control whereas Case came from the loss making super-ISP. Case quitting could be bad news for technologists given the current battles between content providers like Time Warner and the Internet and computer industries."

U.S. Decision On Iraq - How Policy Was Set
By Glenn Kessler Washington Post Staff Writer (Sunday, January 12, 2003; Page A01)
On Sept. 17, 2001, six days after the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, President Bush signed a 21/2-page document marked "TOP SECRET" that outlined the plan for going to war in Afghanistan as part of a global campaign against terrorism. Almost as a footnote, the document also directed the Pentagon to begin planning military options for an invasion of Iraq, senior administration officials said.
The previously undisclosed Iraq directive is characteristic of an internal decision-making process that has been obscured from public view. Over the next nine months, the administration would make Iraq the central focus of its war on terrorism without producing a rich paper trail or record of key meetings and events leading to a formal decision to act against President Saddam Hussein, according to a review of administration decision-making based on interviews with more than 20 participants. Instead, participants said, the decision to confront Hussein at this time emerged in an ad hoc fashion. Often, the process circumvented traditional policymaking channels as longtime advocates of ousting Hussein pushed Iraq to the top of the agenda by connecting their cause to the war on terrorism.
With the nation possibly on the brink of war, the result of this murky process continues to reverberate today: tepid support for military action at the State Department, muted concern in the military ranks of the Pentagon and general confusion among relatively senior officials -- and the public -- about how or even when the policy was decided.............

I want some shoes. Email me @ slashdot.5.spamme23@spamgourmet.com (a spam-proof email address, but quite real). I want those fucking shoes.
Someone mod this bit of homophobic rubbish down. Please.
Heh... Whoops... Guess people can't take a joke. For the record, the joke wasn't intended to start a flame war, or to thrash homosexuals. I was making fun of AOL users. I thought it was AOK to mock AOL on Slashdot. Yikes.
...oOOo..'(_)'..oOOo...
my first website was a horrible thing i made on AOLpress some 12 years ago.
it was the place I got my first email address, and learned about chat rooms, browsers, and what the net was.
AOLpress has been replaced by dreamweaver, and i now design some fortune 500 websites, am a SEO professional, and the web has given me a very easy life doing smart work that I enjoy.
Im not entirely sure I'd be doing what I'm doing, making good money at it, and enjoying my life they way I am if that 'easy to use' window had not been opened for me years ago to spark my interest.
