Gestapo Navy Server
The US Navy has been caught with a server called Gestapo, one that has been pinging Muslim sites:
We're not quite sure why the CNRRC's entire IT system needs to be shut down to remove this firewall or why the firewall was actively pinging Web sites and coincidentally ones of Muslim journalists. Maybe some of our dear readers can explain this situation.
Regardless of the IT mechanics behind the Gestapo system, this incident has proved one thing. The Navy has an unmatched talent for naming.
Bill Clinton is actually one of the lower profile names for a Navy spokesman. We prefer the intriguing Lt. Mike Kafka, who, among other things, answers questions about Guantanamo Bay. In particular, Kafka was charged with answering our questions about the Navy's decision not to dub Guantanamo "the least worst place" anymore.

What are these people thinking? Oh, scratch that. What are we thinking that still trust them?
As Nicholson said, we can't handle the truth.

I sometimes wonder if more knowledge is always good... what goes on sometimes is just insane.

Thinking realistically, a country as big as this and with so many interests in the world has to have a huge intelligence apparatus. However, what is scary is the hubris, the belief that this country is somewhat invincible or powerful.
Worse still are the extremes to which some people would go to maintain that illusion.
