Apparently Sa:Po, the “Safety Police” (think something along the lives of the FBI) caught the CIA carrying out anti-terrorist operations on Swedish soil, something that the Swedes, at least, deem illegal.
Need more? I could translate the rest if it seems important to do so.
BTW: tech staff: I’m starting to get really cheesed off that I can’t comment using Opera. I might go Galt and deprive the world of my occasional comments. Terrible prospect, eh?

I glanced at the headline and thought the post was going to be about helicopters. Well, the first two items. Not the third.

Put simply, it’s analogous to getting a drone to think like a pilot …
Oh, good. It’s a Turing Test, but in a life-or-death situation. That’s sure to work. s

It shows that 8 unreliable detainees, several of whom are known to have been tortured, provided a great deal of the intelligence justifying the continuing detention of Gitmo detainees.
This is just so blasted predictable and unimaginative, isn’t it? How many times has this happened over the years? The Spanish Inquisition. Any number of ego-swollen empires. Junky little dictatorships. Good company, Miss Liberty, good company you are keeping.

It’s not just us, as far as I can make out from my place in consumerland: you can’t get a Swedish screw or a German cooking pot these days either.

You’d almost think that DOD _wants_ to let someone look inside their system without their knowing about it.

behindthefall commented on the blog post DOD Considers Illegal Data Mining Part of Capital Crime
It must have something going for it in addition to looking at source code, ’cause that’s something that the hoariest UNIX commandline grep utility has always done. “Where’d I put that header …?”

Got Netflix? Watch MI-5 (AKA “Spooks”), Season 5, Episode 2. The Brits describe the events that we are living through in the U.S., a coup to erase democracy, a “blink of the eye in history”, as one character says.
Now back to our scheduled programming.
