I did not say that there was no real threat, but it is FUD when it's used to justify the dismantling of civil rights. This happened in the '70es in Germany and it's always likely to happen after a major terrorist attack.
I have never seen evidence that giving up privacy actually worked effectively against terrorism.
But terrorism FUD or other "we're under attack" FUD is an old strategy to make the people do what the leaders want, nicely sketched out in an interview by Hermann Goering in 1946.
You are watching your government using terrorism FUD to cicumvent and take away your civil rights, step by step and day by day, and still believe this war against Iraq is a war for democracy? Wake up America, wake up!
It's April 2nd and/. reports mozilla 1.4 to be released and it's not an April fools joke, that's really strange. But it's surely an anti April fools joke to release mozilla 1.4 on April 1st.
BTW they didn't update their release notes properly as France and Germany aren't listed in the export restriction list alongside of Libya and Cuba. And as Turkey is now much more restrictive than Germany they'll soon have to be added too.
So I'm naive if I believe that our reporters are watching, at the request of our government, to ensure that the facts are reported accurately and that no atrocities are committed
Yes. The reporters are sent out to produce nice patriotic imagery, like Hollywood but with an additional "reality" kick.
Sounds a little backwards to me This may be true for the scenario you are constructing but that is your imagination and not my comment.
We're getting more "on the spot reporting" during this war than any conflict in history
You know why? This is called propaganda. There is a carefully selected group of reporters "in bed" with the military in order to produce the pictures the military wants. We had this in WW2 where Germany sent out so called "Kriegsberichterstatter" with their troops, the difference being that the Pentagon has outsourced these jobs.
when we've got reporters watching every single move of the military
you must be really naïve to believe that. And even if they did, what does it help if they don't report what they see?
But you have the chance to backport the patch yourself, or have someone do that for you -- if you really needed this you will be a company and can afford to pay someone to do the job.
Could someone with access to the article please qoute or explain what they want to tell us with that? From my Knowledge of thermodynamics this sounds like nonsense to me.
Who "took out", as you say, 3000 of *your* civilians? From the victims of the WTC attack only a minority were actually US citizens. This wasn't an attack on the USA but the US administration exploit it as such for their questionable political aims.

Ice ages come and go in cycles. We are at the beginning of the next ice age and it should become colder not warmer.
They don't even have to buy them, they get them for free when they go to the army.
And it's probably because the US sends their "kindergartens" to war, that there are so much "friendly fire" incidents.

You are missing, that in the USA guns are considered less harmful than alcohol. Teenagers are allowed to kill but they are not allowed to drink.
Guns don't protect people, people protect people.

Even though there is a real threat of terrorism this is clearly terrorism FUD. Dismantling civil rights does not help to fight terrorism.
Twice as hard to use and ten times as easy to make money when you can refer to M$ on the cover.

So thisone must be true.
You buy into this commie propaganda
...
So you think the BBC's world affairs editor is a "commie"? Mc Carthy I hear you coming

I guess that's on schedule. We have seen "freedom fries" and "freedom toast", next we'll probably see them take a "freedom leave" from Iraq ;)
If the French hadn't helpt out your puny revolution, US would still be a British colony.
Dude, that was two hundred years ago. Get over it.
The liberation of Old Europe was two generations ago and we *are* currently getting over it thanks to the current US administration.

Anyone out there fair enough to answer my question instead of modding me down?
If they aren't biased it's just because they're toppled already.
They're just as likely to not keep accurate records about the things I do wrong.
This is helpful only if you do significantly more things wrong than right.
Moderators are extremely stupid again. I'd really like to have an answer to my question.
