June 26, 200718 yr News? This has been common knowledge for at least a year. The 'news' is that the technique is spreading to Afghanistan. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.

June 26, 200718 yr I would have thought foot patrols were a better way to police a state than from a gun-mounted humvee. You're a brit. Ya'll bring tanks into stadiums. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
June 26, 200718 yr I'd be interested to hear if anyone has read the 2007 Samuel Johnson Prize winner for Non Fiction Imperial Life in the Emerald City: Inside Baghdad's Green Zone. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT

It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.
