  1. Didn't we have this in 1997? by cjsnell · · Score: 4, Informative

    XDrive, Yahoo Briefcase, anybody?

    Of course, we had Web-based e-mail in '96, too, and look what Google did with that.

    Honestly, if they just hint that my wife/parents/children just might end up in an "accident", it would be enogh for me to shut up. If they could capture a German citizen (El Masri), put a diaper on him, drug him and fly him God knows where for harsh interrogations, then release him in the middle of Albania five month later, then I wouldn't hold it above them to harm my family to get me to shut up... I am surprized that guy even had enough guts to talk about it. I am sure you've heard about him, here is a link on the ACLU website about his case.
