As I recall, the name "Desert Fox" was a nickname held by a Nazi general. Fitting, that.
Fitting? I find the occasional anti-American hyperbole around here rather depressing. I'm reminded of 30-year-old engineers talking about the depression of the 80's! If you don't see the difference between the US and Nazi Germany, you need to do a lot more reading. While the anti-privacy activities of the administration and law enforcement are threatening and need to be resisted, they are by no means on a par with the excesses of the Nazi leadership. In any case, Gen. Erwin Rommel (the Desert Fox) was never a Nazi. -- Jim Gillogly Trewesday, 28 Foreyule S.R. 1998, 02:48 12.19.5.14.0, 6 Ahau 13 Mac, First Lord of Night
