1. first mention if dick cheney in as long as i can remember. maybe he's not dead after all.
2. is anyone else bothered by the fact that the article gives no indication of what the device is/does? i mean, it's one thing to have a radioative device laying around poorly secured, but to have the same and not know what it *is*...

I think this article was meant to drum up fear, this device was like a portable xray machine to detect cracks ets. as far as a weapon it would be of little real consequence. Fear is the weapon the terrorist try to use. Sure if this material was left exposed next to your bedside you would have ill effects but as a weapon it would be mostly psychological.

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." -- Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials
Sooner or later, though, a REAL "device" will be misplaced, and at that point EVERYTHING will change. And I believe it's coming sooner rather than later because "we" are doing NOTHING to help fix the world. And who didn't notice that it involves Halliburton? Cheney's Halliburton, the Halliburton that just got a 10 year deal with our Defense Department? I'm not conspiracy theorist, but it does make one pause.

I think the problem is actually that a lot of the world does not consider itself broken.
I didn't notice.
Didn't make me pause. Perhaps you're a developing conspiracy thoerist.

Maybe he's one of those talking heads, like on the show "Futureama".
Or...Maybe he's one of those robot suits, like in the movie "Men in Black"
Either way, we can tie in a conspiracy theory involving aliens.
Hang on a sec...There is a green glow on my front porch. I better go have a loo--
