feel safer?

2006-05-31 16:40:28.500451+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

More to make you feel like your government really is here to protect you: The Agent Who Might Have Saved Hamid Hayat, about the FBI's grandstanding and media plays over the "terrorist cell" in Lodi California, and a debunking of the "terrorists using video games to recruit" scare (video). I lifted that latter one from the Sensible Erection entry titled Terrorists Use Games to Recruit - or not.... The first comment reads:

oh, but they are: http://www.americasarmy.com/

which normally I'd chalk up to flamebait, but as details of the incident in Haditha leak out I am more and more concerned about... well... it seems like we're putting bullets in a lot of chests and brains, but I don't think that's the right path to "winning hearts and minds".
