3/30    Carroll freed only because the US military made secret
        negociations with the terrorists. News at 11.
        \_ Khalilzad says no ransom was paid and no "arrangements with anyone"
           were made by U.S. officials.  He did thank Iraqi politicians for
           their efforts, though.  The video put out by the kidnappers today
           said that the U.S. released some female Iraqi hostages.
        \_ URL please.  Everything I'm reading says no ransom was paid.
           \_ so much for not negotiating with terrorists.
              \_ Nono. We never negotiate with terrorists. The release of
                 a few female prisoners was planned long time ago and
                 it merely coincided with Carroll's release. The terrorists
                 thought we negotiated but we didn't. We're already winning
                 the war on terror and there is no need for negotiation.
              \_ So everyone but the kidnappers says there were no negotiations
                 and you believe them.  Nice.

5/9     If U.S. doesn't do assissination, then what do you call
        Operation Neptune Spear aka "Mission Kill Bin Laden"?
        \_ I think theoretically the difference is that the goal of one is
           "kill him/her", while the goal of the other is "capture him/her,
           and don't hestitate to shoot with the possibly of killing if he/she

12/4    you know the 1999 ending of ST:DS9 shows the protagonists working
        as terrorists, and all worried about a police state coming for the
        federation.  Funny timing, no?
        \_ At that point in time there was a bit of sympathy people were
           starting to extend to "freedom fighters"; vis a vis all the
           popular support many pro-palestine movements were going on -

        \_ Why not raise tuition? At private universities, students generate
           revenue. Students should not be seen as an expense. UC has
           been a tremendous bargain for most of its existence. It's time

4/6     The Cybersecurity Act of 2009 gives the president the ability to
        "declare a cybersecurity emergency" and shut down or limit Internet
        traffic in any "critical" information network "in the interest of
        national security." The bill does not define a critical information
        network or a cybersecurity emergency. That definition would be left to
        the president.

        are viewed as the most favoriable.

           Super EVIL Terrorists as America for the past 50 years.
