War is a very dirty business, so if this really is a war we'll be doing things
one hell of a lot more disagreeable than that before we're through. If we're
too squeamish to even fake a racy photo then it's all over already, they've won.

Interesting!

Flying saucer photos and the shroud of Turin have been proven scientifically
to be fakes but it doesn't make the slightest difference, millions of people
still believe in them even in highly educated countries. Things should work even
better in Afghanistan probably the most illiterate country on earth, I'm sure
the average citizen of that hell hole has no idea about recent advances in
digital processing. For once let's turn irrationality and scientific ignorance to
our advantage.

I was listening to an expert on Islam on NPR today, he said in the last
5 years the most popular name parents give their newborn son is
Usamah. He didn't think it was a coincidence.
