How can these people even say this shit and not bust out laughing?

So the Utah MiniTru that will be online in 2013, that will assist in identifying people to be targeted for "rendition" and classified as "enemy combatants", that's what, again?

The bullshit is piling up so fast you need wings to stay above it.



Obama announces sanctions for tech used in human rights abuses in Iran and Syria

President Obama issued an executive order Monday that allows U.S. officials for the first time to impose sanctions against foreign nationals found to have used new technologies, including cellphone tracking and Internet monitoring, to help carry out grave human rights abuses.

Social media and cellphone technology have been widely credited with helping democracy advocates organize against autocratic governments and better expose rights violations, most notably over the past year and a half in the Middle East and North Africa.

But authoritarian governments, particularly in Syria and Iran, have shown that their security services can also harness technology to help crack down on dissent — by conducting surveillance, blocking access to the Internet or tracking the movements of opposition figures.

Blame edjucashun. People dont know the definition of the word, understand it, think it is important, or think how hypocritical it points out so many things are. They think Irony is something like Telephony, and that it actually has to do with Iron.

People have also forgotten how to laugh.
