ACLU Files for Info on New Brain-Scan Tech

An anonymous reader writes "According to their website, the ACLU has filed a FOIA request seeking information on the new Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging service being made available to the government for use on suspected terrorists which can produce 'live, real-time images of people's brains as they answer questions, view images, listen to sounds, and respond to other stimuli. [...] These brain-scanning technologies are far from ready for forensic uses and if deployed will inevitably be misused and misunderstood," said Barry Steinhardt, Director of the ACLU's Technology and Liberty Project. "This technology must not be deployed until it is proven effective -- and we are a long way away from that point, according to scientists in the field,"'"

Fuck you, fascist. No matter how hard you spew, you can't change the fact that I agree with Truman's decision to atomic bomb Japan, as I've consistently posted. Stupid bitch, FDR and Truman won the World War faster than your Bush assholes have spent bogging us down in Iraq, our manufactured enemy. The rest of your gibberish strawmen don't even rate a dignifying response.

We don't need a machine to see the rot inside your skull. Go play your deluded games with your rapidly shrinking pool of Bush cultists.

Better yet, practice what you're preaching and go down to register for Iraq duty. You've already invoked our brave, misled troops in this thread to somehow defend your wasting their lives for your fascist dreams. I expect to see you actually putting your life on the line, instead of your brave keyboard bullshit duty.

But of course you won't. Because the Americans who've joined since Afghanis and Arabs attacked America (not Iraqis) are not cowards like you. They're brave, and stand up to defend our country. You, on the other hand, hate our country (as it stands), and are such a pisspants coward that you'd throw away everything we've got in your terror. You're the perfect fascist tool, the perfect terrorist target. The best you could do for our country would be to take the place of a brave American as an IED goes off. Which is just the last reason why you won't.

The 4 Egyptians were also Arabs - 19 Arabs on 9/11/2001, 14 of them Saudis.

The Afghanis who were "involved" in the attacks were of course the Afghani Taliban who supported and protected the Qaeda assholes who did the manual labor.

Who were of course a Pakistani secret police creation. Designed by the American CIA.
