  The Darpa Initiative

  I've seen Frontline; here is my immediate reaction:

  1. John Yoo is one dumb sonofabitch.

  2. That the FBI now issues its own warrants is very bad.

  3. The analogy of DUI roadblocks comes to my mind. Except that this is like stopping and checking every driver and every passenger in every car on every road at all times -- NOT for the purpose of stopping drunk driving but rather in order to make a list of people who (they imagine) might be likely to drink and drive at some vague point in the future.

  4. The dumb sonofabitches known as Bush-Cheney think We the People are The Enemy, while al-Qaeda has been left alone since 9/11 to attack each of the U.S.'s few remaining allies (Australia in Bali; Madrid; London; etc.). However, if the real object of the exercise is permanent GOP control, then I guess We the People are their true (potential) enemy.

  5. One day the Bush-Cheney people will remove their human masks and reveal themselves as evil space aliens, just like in that episode of the new Doctor Who.

  "You people have no idea how to defend a nation." -- Jake007

  Wasn't Col. Nathan Jessup the bad guy in 'A Few Good Men', who was insanely paranoid over being attacked by . . . Cubans? What a guy. But I guess the embargo against Cuba will succeed, if given enough time, in making Castro die of old age. So: Well done, Jake!
