"A small private intelligence company that monitors Islamic terrorist groups obtained a new Osama bin Laden video ahead of its official release last month, and around 10 a.m. on Sept. 7, it notified the Bush administration of its secret acquisition. It gave two senior officials access on the condition that the officials not reveal they had it until the al-Qaeda release.Within 20 minutes, a range of intelligence agencies had begun downloading it from the company's Web site. By midafternoon that day, the video and a transcript of its audio track had been leaked from within the Bush administration to cable television news and broadcast worldwide.
The founder of the company, the SITE Intelligence Group, says this premature disclosure tipped al-Qaeda to a security breach and destroyed a years-long surveillance operation that the company has used to intercept and pass along secret messages, videos and advance warnings of suicide bombings from the terrorist group's communications network"...

Nah, that's hoping too much. Pigs will fly sooner.
Unbelievable.

There's something not right behind those eyes. Well, a lot of things, but I mean something basically humane is missing.
The activist is not the man who says the river is dirty. The activist is the man who cleans up the river. The activist is not the person that complains on a blog read by few. The activist is the person that stands on a street daily with a sign protesting wars. The activist is the person that is constantly pestering their senators and congressmen. Just saying. :-)
Oh, and hugs.
