US Army Files Found On Second-Hand MP3 Player

MichaelSmith writes "A New Zealand man who bought a second hand MP3 player from a store in the US found it loaded with the names and personal details of American soldiers, as well as a mission briefing and information about equipment. Chris Ogle says he will return the unit to the US Defense Department if asked, and that it never worked as a music player anyway. A slightly different version of the story is available from TVNZ."

Exactly.

Newsflash Gandalf, humor isn't dead.

hmm, not so happy about your sig. Especially because "The One 'leader'" as you call it made it clear that he can't do anything on his own. But being from Europe I am perhaps a bit oversensitive about people who don't understand a thing about that part of history.

I could care less what you think of my sig. I'll even go so far as to say that, unlike "The One", I could also care less what Europeans think about us or the way we do things.

Hitler was given 'temporary' emergency powers during a contrived crisis... Keep in mind we do have a provision in the US Constitution for martial law, and all it would take would be a sufficient 'crisis' to have a reason to invoke it. Of course that is extremely unlikely, and also unnecessary, since the "checks and balances" in place can also be subverted if all three branches of government are pushing the same agenda.
