Thanks for posting that great interview Debbie. Scott Ritter sounds totally credible. I'm glad he's speaking out and I hope this time he's listened to instead of scorned.

Here's an example showing how conservatives complain about MSM just as much as liberals do. I guess neither group is ever going to trust mainstream media until they positively identify themselves and pick a side -- any side...

Oh great -- just what we need...

Why don't we just make it official and become a theocracy:

“The top US general defended the leadership of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld today, saying it is inspired by God. ‘He leads in a way that the good Lord tells him is best for our country,’ said Marine General Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.”

Very observant of you Cheryl. I would have missed that

Wanted to share a couple of links and the first follows the religious theme of the thread. (That WAS observant Cheryl...doubt if I would have caught it either, Dan)

What the Amish are Teaching America

The second could be a great story in the making...just depends on what is on the disks.

Mailed Diebold Disks Raise Voting Machine Fears

Common Dreams will send an e with their headlines, it is an online news source that I find very informative.

A statement issued by Diebold said it would "take years for a knowledgeable scientist" to break the encryption used on the software disks delivered to Kagan.

But Ari Rubin, a computer scientist at Johns Hopkins University who reviewed the disks for The Washington Post, said the data files were not encrypted on the disk containing the software that runs the machines.


Talk about proof of incompetence. The problem isn't just intentional "mischief". The biggest problem is with shoddy, untested code. It's probably being written by underpaid green horns that are being rushed to put something out the door. Experience and quality has no value today. You should see some of the garbage I've had to clean up before.
