Reading this makes you wonder why Washington is trying to talk Israel out of attacking Iran. Could it be that the timing isn’t quite right?
From what I’ve read on other sites the $81 million in reallocated funds will develop and build 20 of the improved bunker busters. Until the bombs are built I guess we’ll just have to “give diplomacy and sanctions a chance to work.”

Pro-SOPA TV news networks don’t mention SOPA during prime-time.
Pro-SOPA TV news networks don’t mention SOPA during prime-time.
A Media Matters study shows that the TV news companies, which support the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), have been self-censoring the issue from their prime-time broadcasts.
While CNN devoted one show to SOPA, MSNBC, Fox News, ABC, CBS, and NBC have clearly instituted a de facto blackout on the subject.
There are many reasons for this, according to Media Matters, but the biggest is that TV news networks are nothing but corrupt shills and propagandists for the biggest corporations and two major political parties.
(Too much?) ; )

Inside Carrier IQ-gate.
Inside Carrier IQ-gate.
A scandal erupted this week around the discovery of secret software running on most smartphone handsets in the U.S. that tracks and logs personal activity on the phones.
The software is marketed to carriers and handset makers as a diagnostic tool that can be used to improve phone service. Critics say it’s a hard-core violation of privacy. And the critics are right.
A security researcher named Trevor Eckhart posted a video Tuesday showing Carrier IQ software harvesting personal data without permission or even the option to turn it off.
When you learn the ugly details (on the other side of the link), you’ll see that we can’t trust Carrier IQ. We can’t trust the carriers and handset makers that use Carrier IQ. And we can’t even trust the companies that don’t use Carrier IQ.
Here’s what you need to know:
