DHS Says Cellular Outage Reporting is Terrorist Blueprint

Tuxedo Jack writes "U.S. landline telephone companies have to file public reports when their networks have major outages, so you would think the same would hold true for cellular providers and ISPs, right? Not if the Department of Homeland Security gets its way. CNN/AP reports that the DHS wants to make cellphone outage reports secret, claiming that they could be used as 'blueprints for terrorists.' I don't know about you, but I'd kinda like to see public disclosure on what happened if my cellphone/Internet access is down for an extended period."

These peole who complain abot such removal of civil liberties are just no-good communist terrorist pinkos, who should be shipped to Guatanamo Bay for torture and reeducation immediately! Lets all get ready for the next big push- to get Newspeak officialized through parlementation by our great fuhrer G Dubya Busch!

Ok fuckstick, I'll make it plain and simple for you so that you can understand it.

I have come to accept the fact that you liberals are impervious to facts and irrefutable evidence. Every single time you are faced with them, you change the subject and/or start calling the person names and placing personal attacks because you CAN'T argue against the facts. (So go ahead, and call me names - change the subject and prattle on, I've come to expect nothing more from you sheeple).

The fact is that there have been 0, that is zero, as in one minus one attacks on America since September 11. Since 9/11 we have rounded up all the shitskins that worship the laughable "religion of peace" and questioned them, detained them when necessary, deported those that weren't here legally and by all evidence prevented all terrorist attacks to this date. With this facutal evidence, what civil liberties have you lost? How many times have you been stopped and quesitoned by the GWB SS troops? I know the answer and I'll give it to you. NONE you dumbfuck, NONE!

The fact is is that we've targeted the terrorists and we're cleaning up and taking out the trash. The fact that it's a republican doing this as opposed to your uber allis drives you fucking nuts.

Get over it...

Go ahead and mod me down, you commie pinko liberal asshole mods, I've got karma to burn.

YEP, and NOPE

By *FANALLY* doing what Clinton told him to do, Bush got the attack rate back down to where Clinton had it and, being the brain that he is, he only had to trash the economy, lie to congress and the people, dismantle the constitution, and EXPORT the American CASUALTIES to forign soil (a soil from which no Terrorisim was headed towards America by any stretch of the truth) to avenge his father's incompetent failure to handle Sadam back when there was reason to do so.

With this amazing and honest intellect in charge, The United States of America's problems will be over soon... But the problems will just be starting for The Imperium of the Right Christian Prophet of North America...
