    If the US was intelligent at all, they would just eliminate cow from their diet. Healthier people, cleaner water, more arable land, less GGE.

    Not as interesting? Lucidity is separate from control. Control in the hypnogogic state can be as boring as your imagination. Lucidity in deep rem is anything but un-interesting though requires extreme emotional control to maintain

    Lucidity at night is directly correlated to awareness during the day.

    Nice to see the ad hominems though.

    Thanks. I sometimes find that a well used ad hominem will separate the wheat from the chaff. Propaganda babies get angry, logical rational people re-assess.

    ...and son(so unless your going to argue that a 16 year old boy from Denver is a senior operational leader with AQ we already know that killings occur when even the low bar set by this whitepaper is not met), was part of a co-belligerent force, not AQ.

    I would never argue that. I think the US' foreign policy is deplorable and their post-facto rationalizations and this memo a bit idiotic and paranoid. Just pointing out logical flaws people make in a futile attempt to stem the tide of stupidity. I sometimes wonder what real change could occur if people channeled all their energy into the real issues instead of getting lost in divisive political spin.

    As an aside, it's not unheard of a ministers son to continue in his father's footsteps. Nor can we logically conclude what factors an irrational organization would use to promote leaders. It may in fact just be the capacity to preach hatred against other ways.

    It sucks and apparently everybody but the designers think so. I wonder if the downfall of slashdot was when they started trying to run it like a business. Managers and designers that know nothing about their audience or apparently don't care. Though it makes sense to build an audience of idiots because idiots buy things. Nerds and geeks will roll their own.

    I really wish slashdot had an api to access posts so we could calculate the exact turning point. Definitely 2013 is when the tide has shifted.

    Holy crap do they not teach you guys reading comprehension in school or what?

    Yes I'm disputing the whole we can judge you a member arbitrarily because it doesn't say that in the memo. The whole memo only applies when 3 conditions are met. One of those being that the person is a high ranking official in al-Qa'ida. The memo only explains the rational when those conditions are met, it does not deal with how.those conditions are met.

    Let me repeat it again. High ranking al-qa'ida.

    If you wanted to argue anything there is one part of the memo that appears poorly written and doesn't mention al-qa'ida. Given USian logic it could almost be predicted that in the future that one sentence could be used as an opening to include other groups.

    seriuosly though, take some online reading comprehension courses since you did not understand the memo or my parent post.

    No. No it doesn't. Try again. How about quoting the memo. You can't because it doesn't say that.

    The ONLY judgment call is whether a high level al-Qa'ida member poses an imminent threat. If you want to get upset about something get upset about that. It's even what the summary refers to. Read the part where it says al-qa'ida is deemed to always be plotting and therefore there is always an imminent threat. So basically carte-blanche to kill US citizens that are part of al-qa'ida... outside of the US.

    That is pure speculation based on a non-logical inference. The memo doesn't say that and that shouldn't be suprising since they are two seperate issues.
