Perhaps it is two unrelated events. Maybe the Russians are using GPS in their attack on Chechnya, and the administration decided "Not on our dime."
To clarify a little bit: I summarized wrongly. The GPS fine location has not been turned off, the dithering has been turned off. In essence, the GPS fine positioning usually lies in a particular algorithmic way designed to make determining exact locations extrememly difficult. In theory, the military GPS units bypass this dithering. Either it doesn't work or there aren't enough military units (I believe the latter is the official story), but GPS fine positioning has been turned off during times like the Iraq massacre and the Haiti invasion so that the military can use civilian units. In any case, it turns out that the Green Beret in question is being sent to Haiti. It doesn't explain the GPS, tho. There's lots-o-speculation elsewhere on the net. - - -- Todd Masco | "life without caution/ the only worth living / love for a man/ cactus@hks.net | love for a woman/ love for the facts/ protectless" - A Rich Cactus' Homepage - -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBLxP++hNhgovrPB7dAQGUowQAgvqyOzrVxCWnumcPQyPbrWnuxn+017Wf DBM/A5VCqyzj/wpZYgBydBwZknzEYd8vxLdt32j2rlhzswHCHdsvECuN7aer9S7t 69ZlrtPn1UKy5MvTUyAdvxh5Z8Zex1eenyYd8q+favmrAB9UmX4Sh1e4JkYqPRmP is2vZ8DgAIQ= =Lmyl - -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- - --- [This message has been signed by an auto-signing service.
