In a depressing piece of news I saw several days ago, it was explained that Osama bin Laden is not merely an independent multi- millionaire terrorist. Instead, his activities are supported by outlaw states. Thus, even if he is neutralized, there are hundreds of others waiting in the wings to take his place. The fact that the terrorists in waiting are not dripping rich is irrelevant since support will come from the usual cast of thugs.

loose lips sinks ships, Our beloved media doesnt think twice about putting our soldiers in jeopardy while their trying to do their job. this terrorism stuff is going to get real bad. They need to be proactive and mitigate the risk. To all media persons reading this, stop it, stop broadcasting our troops movements while a serious mission to combat terrorism is underway. Bin laden is the scum of the earth, a cold blooded killer who wouldnt think twice of nuking or bio attacking an allied city of innocent civilians if he got the chance to do so. My prayers are with our soldiers,

NORMALLY, I do NOT aprove of censorship (later, dude) but HERE is a perfect argument FOR it!! Since the televising of the landings in (senior moment, the country where we "rescued" our medical students) to the televising of the Gulf War, we have gotten to the point that the damn reporters are like first in scouts, telling the world where and when we are acting. DAMN foolish, but it's the way Bubba runs a "war". SOMEDAY, SOON, it is going to cost lives, and the press is then going to whine that it was the people's right to know about the action. ***DAMN***
