    No, using that means to gather intelligence is the issue. IT's bad, and it undermines the basic trust for people trying to care for people and p[rovide care.

    The fact that they got caught isn't why it was bad.

    "That's why we call them "unborn child", and "baby in the womb""
    only people who want to lie and use emotional and incorrect terminology say that becasue they have no real argument so emotional bias is what they can use.

    zygote is not a person.

    You are being stupid. Logically, emotionally stupid.

    YOU are redefining person. It's really basic science.

    "But one thing I can wrap my head around: Ask the child whether it would be happy to have it's chance of life taken from it. Or ask them if they'd at least like a say in what their fate be.
    it's not a child. If we could ask that question, then it wouldn't be a discussion.
    It isn't complex at all. A woman should be able to have an abortion is she want s to and YOU should not be able to shove your belief down their throats. Simple.
    You make shit up, apply your own belief, disregard the constitution. YOU are making it more complex by adding made up shit and nonsense.

    I like how Obama taking the political risk to get us out gets twisted by people like you as a failure.

    And nothing changed lacks series critical thinking in it's conclusion. but people like you just hate having him as present so you don't apply any thought to the shit you parrot.
    One example:
    "Drones: "
    Why is this on the list? he never promised anything abut stopping drones, and he said he would use them. Would it be better if he did the same missions with a piloted craft? It was made up by Fox news(John Flemming) as an issue when it hadn't been one.

    "Worse - "
    Based on...what? Does more equal bad? This circles back around to would it be better if they were manned attacks?

    "As of Feb 5, 2012: Obama 260 attacks, Bush: 52"
    Yes, a good tool that's cheap, effective, and reliable became more readily available and therefor used more.

    "Not just worse, but 14x worse."
        More, the word they are looking for is more, not worse. Worse is about the way and result of use. Of course, they use the word 'worse' becasue it's an alarmist biased emotional word; which is easier to do then applying thought.

    "Murdering innocents is nothing to be proud of but it stands as one of Obama's largest anti-achievements."
    But they leave out the 600,000 innocents that died under Bush.

    Drone is nothing more then a boogy man to detract from the real issue becasue cowards don't want to be seen as arguing against military personal, especially pilots, so they use drones to scare people.

    everything on the list is wrong, twisted or an out right lie.

    Find an honest, upfront, source.

    Because large projects have a large impact, cross county borders, you need to determine what to do with the waste, and so on.
    Plus the place has been shut down, and if it's like other desalination plants in CA that have been shut down, they also cut fundamental maintenance, so there will be a lot of repairs and replacements, and testing.

    It's a large complex project that impacts 10's millions of people.

    another factor is all the detail like storage, and trans port and all the infrastructure will probably need to be redone as well, becasue no continue maintenance and planning.
