yet another reason not to trust everything you hear or read:

from p.8 of the March 24th Newsweek magazine:
"As part of the public opinion war, ... Soldiers based in Qatar have been 
chatting with radio talk shows in their hometowns and joining Internet chats 
on Web sites from oprah.com to bbcnews.com"

Having spent 5+ years at Fort Bragg, allow me to translate that for you:
...Psychological Operations soldiers based in Qatar have been disseminating 
meticulously planned disinformation, cleverly disguised as "hometown hero" 
messages from the front, to radio stations and internet chat rooms.


Oh! and I heard on the news last night that, as part of the newly implemented 
Operation Liberty Shield [ 
http://www.dhs.gov/dhspublic/display?theme=43&content=519 ], the Feds will be 
monitoring the Internet for signs of attacks.  Hmmmm... so, like, the ENTIRE 
Internet, or just specific parts, say people's email???


just preaching,
Alan

Seen both. I've got Part 2 on DVD myself, and can get a VHS of Part 1 in 
about a week, and could host as well. The same documentary team also did a 
decent if slightly fluffy documentary on crop circles recently, which is 
great to watch in a large-scale outdoor sculpture sense, a la the works 
of Andrew Goldsworthy.

best,
