As long as it's just alleged anything, it's wrong.
The point in question (in this argument anyway) is not what they were accused of, but the fact that just being accused is enough to get you on the list.
You don't have to have actually done anything, just have been accused of it.
Why does everything these days have to be due to terrorism? The last thing I heard being described as terrorism was that someone who had defrauded a bank was being held on antiterrorism chargs.
Fraud is terrorism?
It's seriously annoying and it can't be just me who finds it so.
"Ooooh, a bandwagon, let's all get on and some have fun!"
And for God's sake, don't find any practical or intelligent use for the PATRIOT act. The last thing we want or need is other countrys coming up with their own versions.
(Any incorrect apostrophies are just looking for attention, and are not to be given any.)
If the Canadians leave a bunch of tanks lying around in Iran after a training exercise (lets say they simply forgot to pack them), and the Iranians use them to attack US forces, does that mean the US forces can't counterattack since the equipment is the property of Canada?
Close, but a better analogy would be:
If the Canadians are training with the Americans in Iran, and a fanatic or two hang onto the back of a Canadian tank taking pot shots at the Americas with RPGs. Does that mean the US forces can't counterattack since the equipment is the property of Canada?
Well, yes it does. Get the Canadians to sort it out. Firing at an ally might cause political ructions, not to mention noone really trusting them to behave on the battlefield.
Oh, wait, they've already got away with that several times.
As opposed to having to expend resources writing a component that could be filled with one that might already be out in the proprietry code domain simply because of the harsh restrictions placed on the availibility of the source?
Vegetarians are usually quite happy to wear leather shoes, belts and coats etc. After all, the defitition of a vegitarian is just someone who doesn't eat meat.
You yourself not only don't eat meat, but you don't have anything to do with leather, or eat cheese, eggs, milk etc. You said it yourself, you are a vegan.
vegitarian != vegan.
So seeing that the girl in the story called herself a vegitarian, such an observation would be perfectly valid.
There are two versions of EMPs. One is a relativly low powered pulse that would do as you say.
However, the other is the one the military are looking at, and is more of a precision weapon.
Think of the difference between a rifle and a grenade.
The type of narrowband HPM weapons that the U.S. military is looking at offers everything that e-bombs do not. They're nonlethal, reuseable, and tunable, and they can be fired from miles away. Like a laser, the focused beam disperses only slightly over great distances. With a frequency range that is between about 1 and 10 GHz, they can penetrate even electronics shielded against a nuclear detonation. The deepest bunkers with the thickest concrete walls are not safe from such a beam if they have even a single unprotected wire reaching the surface.

Now that is sad.
Prehaps the fact that the charges weren't proved because they were false?
The point in question (in this argument anyway) is not what they were accused of, but the fact that just being accused is enough to get you on the list.
You don't have to have actually done anything, just have been accused of it.
Now, tell me that isn't wrong.
This sounds that anyone who has ever even been accused of being a sex offender would be in the list. Not just those found guilty.
As the great great grandparent said, not good.
Which was, I think, the point of your parent.
In the later versions, it's turned off by default.
So tell me, how do you open doors?
</sarcasm>
No it damn well isn't.

I hope you didn't mean all that.
Close, but a better analogy would be:

Looks like you win.
Ooops, didn't see the previous comment.

Company idiocy or not, that employee is still forced to use IE.
Did you consider that perhaps he's only renting the house?
Usually in a shallow trench on the sea floor, or lying on the seabed.
Lots of insulation and cladding so they don't have to be maintained.

So runners aren't atheletes either? Or jumpers, or swimmers...
Rewritable CD?
So what's the difference between reading a candidate's name on paper, and reading it on the screen?
Or do the machines speak names out loud?
Isn't that everywhere?

Voyager, anybody?
Oh, so the French had nothing to do with it?
