Many are arguing about the verbage being used with respect to the attack and deaths of those recently at one of our military bases here on American soil, perpetuated by an American on other Americans. While the act is unforgivable, some feel it is important to name it "terrorism" and connect the dots to perhaps others who may seek to cause harm.
I see this act as perhaps a result of a man who may have been mentally ill, afraid to go to the middle east himself, or perhaps was indeed acting as directed from a Muslim extremist.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration threw open the curtain on years of Bush-era secrets Monday, revealing anti-terror memos that claimed exceptional search-and-seizure powers and divulging that the CIA destroyed nearly 100 videotapes of interrogations and other treatment of terror suspects.
The Justice Department released nine legal opinions showing that, following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the Bush administration determined that certain constitutional rights would not apply during the coming fight.

Last night I saw Planet Terror (it's like the 10th time I've seen it), the second part in the Rodriguez-Tarantino collaboration Grindhouse. Robert Rodriguez wrote and directed this one and it's awesome, just like his other movies.
A small Texas-town is attacked by zombie-like creatures and a group of people that haven't become zombies, among them Cherry Darling(McGowan) and El Wray (Rodríguez), have to save the world from them.

A leading organisation is of insurers and underwriters are predicting that the recession and continued job losses will see an increase in white collar extortion against businesses. The organisation also found that many businesses are not insured against cyber crimes which could result in data or business loss.
“According to a DTI Information Security Breaches Survey, a third of UK businesses think general small business insurance provides full cover for damage to the business arising from data loss,” commented a spokesperson, “but the reality is quite different, with very few businesses likely to be insured against the result of cyber attacks on its most crucial management and business tool – corporate and customer information, most of which is today held on corporate IT systems.

The massacre at Fort Hood last week is the perfect apotheosis of the liberal victimology described in my book "Guilty: Liberal 'Victims' and Their Assault on America." According to witnesses, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan entered a medical facility at Fort Hood, prayed briefly, then shouted "Allahu akbar" before he began gunning down American troops. Now I don't know which to be more afraid of: Muslims or government-run health care systems.
