what's that old saying? "never attribute to malice that which can be attributed to stupidity" or something like that?
Did 37,000+ Iraqis die because of stupidity or malice? Well lets take a look at the evidence, the tatements by those for war stating -
1. Aluminum tubes bought by Iraq for enriching uranium, found false before the war by the IAEA when they where shown to have been used for the bodies of 120mm rockets, video footage seen on TV around the globe before the war, yet same lie incuded in Presidents State of The Union speech.
2. Iraq attempted to acquire uranuim ore ("Yellowcake") for Niger, based on forged documents, documents found to be forged by the journalist at Italian magazine Panorama before the war, lie included in Presidents State of the Union speech.
3. Attempts to link Al Queada and Saddam Hussien, ignoring historic and continuing hatred by Bin Laden and all top Al Quaeda for Hussien, including back before the first Gulf war, when the Suadi governemtn paid Bin Laden to not raise a Mujahadeen to fight to free Kuwait.
4. These lies and others have been told by every level over the US government, from the President downwards.
People can be stupid, but what we are dealing with here is a conspiracy not seen since the invention of the Gulf of Tonkin incident to start the Veitnam war, maybe you just don't want to believe, but it just happens to be true.
Just to slightly correct you here, he "allegedly" killed himself, his death is at the very least suspicious in that he was found with a bottle of painkillers that are easily overdosed on, causing respitory arrest and his wrist was slashed as well. It maybe that he did kill himself, though that is not proven, and before the war Dr. Kelly said he would be found dead in the woods if Iraq was invaded. The documents released so far in the Hutton enquiry can be found here and include such interesting information as the government attempting to ensure that Dr. Kelly was not questioned about the status of Iraqs WMD programmes in his testimony before Parliamentry commitees, as his informed opinion contradicted the government line that Iraq was a "current and ongoing threat" as the PM stated and as the PMs chief of staff said he might say some uncomfortable things.
I could add a few other classics, like The Goodies, Blackadder and The Kenny Everret Show but I think it will be greatest benefit will be all the exceptional fact based programming, like The Ascent of Man which I think everyone on the planet should have the chance to watch, just because of Jacob Bronowski, filmed a year before his death in '74, and then there's Connections with James Burke, as well as The Sky at Night, also as the licence will be for non-commercial use there is the possibility of individuals cuting and pasting news and interviews to give new perspectives, imagine Tony Blair and George Bushes speeches on Iraq WMD interspersed with reports and retractions of finding them. I'm sure there will be some enterprising individuals that will put together some very interesting and free (as in beer) narratives from the archives.
Using a dual Athlon box with 1G RAM, and a combination of MySQL and an OSS XML-RPC library from Sourceforge we've managed over 1000 concurrent requests without a problem, like the song says, don't beleive the hype, has everyone forgotten how to craft fast, elegant, cheap, well documented solutions, or have I slipped into a parrallel universe where slashdot has been replaced by slashdolt?
Now that its "Terrorist" Information Awareness you'll know they've got a bug just as the Hellfire missile smashes through your bedroom window, maybe you should change the phase to death, incineration and the hot pursuit of anyone who looks un-American...

Well they have a huge problem there, would you like to be a CIA "asset" like Noreiga, Bin Laden, Hussein etc. think about it, today they are all nice and chummy, letting you go around doing what ever you like to people, then one day you out live your usefulness, or you become more useful as a "target", the CIA has no choice but to use technology because no one with an IQ in double digits would ever have anything to do with them. Oh and just so you know now that the analyst side of things is so political they have lost that credibility and don't even get me started on all the dirty tricks, murder and general evilness and stupidity they show with every step, whether it be in South America, the Mid East or elsewhere, kids, just say NO! to the CIA...

I disagree, I thought the best line was "It doesnt mean anything", for a movie so packed to the gills with meaning that has got to be the best line in a movie, ever.
This is insane, the evidence that RAMBUS commited fraud could convince a blind, deaf and dumb monkey, either they are dumber than grapefruit or they've been bought^H^H^H^H^H^H lobbied, but then again the President just went on TV and told the world that Saddam was using imported aluminum tubes for producing nuclear weapons, whereas the weapons inspectors have found the tubing used to make rockets, I don't suppose you get the video footage over there in the US of these things.
Caveat Lector! Oh and I've done it before, one was an actress and I found a really good review of some of her work in the LA Weekly online, so yes Googling potential dates can be a very good idea

c) cute
And no, I've never done this before, honest!

The government recently announced that it would have an review of the BBCs online activities, a clear retaliation over the Kelly affair.
