Exactly correct, every time the TSA figures out how to make traveling even more a pain than before, it's another victory for the Al Qaeda and their buddies. If we change our society, they are achieving success.
Correct, in fact it was the third attempt that actually hit the Cole. One sank, one exploded as they were prepping it, and finally they got the Cole with the third one).
That article provides several possible links that may indicate his loyalties may not have been where they should. But it gives nothing concrete linking his actions to the criteria of a terrorist attack versus a mere horrible crime.
He has not claimed credit in behalf of any organization. Neither has Maj. Hasan, nor has any group come forth with any demands or any threats of more such attacks.
Yes he had email contact with that Imam, but the most recent of those was five months before (june 09 . Further the article tries to make some kind of suspicious link with his history of charitable donations, but didn't point to any specific "questionable" group, and the amounts aren't really relevant as he is single, and thus would have been easily able to affod such amounts. The article states he donated to several overseas Islamic charities, then says that some islamic charities are known to be fronts or supporters of terrorist organizations, but the article makes no attempt to claim that the ones he donated to are the suspected ones.
Yes, he was definitely influenced by this Imam. But a terrorist attack is done to push an agenda, no agenda other than his not wanting to be deployed has come forth.
Maj Hasan's crime does not fit the criteria to be judged anything more than a mass murder comitted by a lone deranged gunman. Maybe more solid evidence will come out in his trial, but until then, "Terrorist" does not fit.
So very very true, yet they somehow keep getting out, and keep re-offending. The local news the other day was talking about some dude who had appealed his 9th yes his 9th conviction. luckily the appeal was shot down. But he'll probably be back out and driving drunk before very long. At least we can flag their car with a warning indicator.
The history of driving drunk by the drivers assigned such plates is sufficient probably cause. Now if they issue those plates on the first offense then it's a problem, but if the individual has shown a repeated disregard for the safety of his/her fellow citizens by repeatedly driving while intoxicated, they have given permanent and sufficient probable cause.
These plates do not require all police officers to pull the vehicle over, but they do give additional indicators that this driver who is driving oddly enough to gain the attention of the officer has a history of DUI convictions that warrant a more careful check to verify sobriety.
I think these plates are a great idea. But only after multiple convictions (not just being pulled over multiple times but full convictions) for DUI.

Look at Mormons. They shun their own family if they don't buy into their crap.
Cite for this baseless accusation please: I think you've got the Mormons confused with some other group. That type of action is neither taught nor does it commonly occur, I won't say it doesn't happen, but it's not doctrinal in any way or interpretation.
Okay, hadn't seen those but the radios still have an antenna that if currently embedded in the glass could be restored to an external location with ease.
My point was that the complaint about standard and Sat radios was a non-issue.
No it isn't. When was the last time you had to identify yourself to place a letter or package into a mail drop-box?
If you are talking about placing a letter into a residential mail box, thats a little different, but if the letter is anonymous and nobody observes the perp doing it, good luck prosecuting that illegal action.
But I read the GP as dealing with those big blue drop boxes.
Correction, no major banks sendout emails with links to log-in with. Many do use one way emails as a regular form of communicaton.
I myself get a simple one line email everytime a deposit is made to my account. Now granted I'm using a Large Federal Credit Union rather than a bank.
And every couple weeks Ameritrade sends me an email telling me to login and check my messages, because my bi-weekly fund transfer to them has occured. But again not a single clickable link in that email.
But no decently sized U.S. based financial institution sends emails with links.
I agree. And I have a hard time seeing what the big deal about this is anyway. So they investigated. No charges were filed.
End story: The FBI was doing it's job to ensure a crime wasn't being committed, when something unexpected was occuring on a government computer system.
Open Source in this context means the radar was built based on unclassified research and technology. Not that it used free code that you and I can request.
An example of this definition of Open Source is the story of Tom Clancy and his publishing of "The Hunt for Red October."
He was investigated for revealing classified information about the operations of our submarines. But he was able to point out where he obtained every bit of information that they were concerned about. He had documented all his sources and all his sources were Open Source, i.e. unclassified sources.
OSINT or Open Source Intelligence is an actively persued branch of the intel world.
The problem with the submission is that the submitter does not realize that there is another definition of Open Source. One that is used in referring to possibly classified information or equipment. And this definition has been around much longer than the current IT realm definition.
What Open source in this context refers to isn't the IT/GPL version of Open source it means it was developed from unclassified research and publications.
So what it is saying is that Ford has not put classified technology into these cars, not that they used free "as in beer" software.
And like most every other great and amazing new Intelligence Database system, it probably looks wonderful in the demonstrations but once deployed turns out to lack sufficient robustness or is too resource intensive to deploy it down to the level it's really needed at. Or it was just plain designed by someone who has no understanding of what is actually needed.
These database's come and go, we barely get our people fully trained on the current one, and here comes a new gee whiz database app to save the world. Rather than sticking with one and fixing it's bugs and adding new capabilities, it's always jump to the new one, jump to the new one. ad nauseum.
Nope, when they issued the new ACH's they collected up the old Kevlars. Probably to sell or give to some foreign military like the Iraqi or Afghan Armies.
I agree with you, and your post inspired a thought in my mind.
In 1944 My father was born. He met his father, a soldier who was away at war, for the first time in 1946.
A year and a half ago, I was away at war. My son was born while I was supposed to be several states away at pre-deployment training. Thanks to our modern technology, I was granted a pass(no tech there), hopped a plane, (for $200 round trip) and was home for the birth of my son.
I then was able to follow the first year of his life, via almost daily photo and video updates, and multiple web-cam sessions per week via the Internet.
All this was made possible with two $600 laptops, two $50 webcams, and roughly $150 a month for the two internet connections. My ISP in Afghanistan was $100 a month for sufficient speed to web-cam. I was working over a satellite internet connection, talking real time with my wife and two boys (okay so the baby wasn't doing much talking), from the other side of this planet (11 and a half hour time difference).
Just a few years prior (2001 and 2002-03), on deployments to the Balkans I was able to email, and call home via the military's phone system, but a video call was out of the question, I had limited access to a VTC system but my family had no such access. And blogging tools for an easy location to post all the pictures of family were no where near as easy to use. I posted pictures to a webpage hosted on the family server. I had to know html to update that page. Now it's point and click and upload to blogspot. And my wife could even do it while wrestling with a toddler and an infant. (She told me to add that factoid).
Okay, ignore my above post. Where is the delete post option? Isn't this 2009?
The Mac Classic came out in 1990 (19 years ago) the low end $1000 model had no HD, the High end $1499 model came with a 40 MB HD.
Thanks to Wikipedia for setting me straight. There is relatively recent major innovation. I no longer have to spend a couple thousand dollars on a massive set of mostly correct encyclopedia's that will only get more incorrect over time, as science leaves them behind.

Yes it all costs money, and we the TAX payers have paid that money. Thus the works are public domain.
