The top post is kind of hilarious. Where the Reverend says "-silence," of course, some individuals might be clever enough to think of "Oh, but aren't women people, not possessions?" Maybe a reverend wouldn't be that smart, but hopefully B would be sitting to their left.

I love how the dude who makes bomb making videos appears to have a bunch of burns on his arms and face. Confidence inspiring!

Well, obviously, since this is an Saudi Arabian dude, it's the Iranian super secret secret services which are behind his website. Just like Saddam an 9/11.

The only thing that could make this better: the dude was once on SCHIP.

In a recent essay, he argued that jihad was mandatory for all Muslims, and he cited three ways to fulfill this obligation: join fighters in Iraq, Afghanistan or Algeria; send them money; or promote militant videos as part of the jihad media. For now, he said, he is fulfilling his obligations by helping other Muslims understand their religion.

Isn't this pretty much the radical Islam version of Keyboard Kommandos?

I don't know which pisses me off more: the fact that they're invading my privacy by keeping tabs on me, or the fucking time and energy they're wasting doing it. Those are my tax dollars, assholes! Try giving them to SCHIP!

9 -- I was explaining the latest FISA stuff to a European this summer, and she was singularly unimpressed the American "pro-civil liberties" position: there's no legal restriction on capturing IMs she send her boyfriend within Germany, but under no circumstances may a communication involving an American be intercepted without a warrant.

What can I say: Europeans aren't "the people."

13, or anyone else: I don't know anything about this, but what are the legal restrictions on E.U. governments monitoring the communications of U.S. citizens?
