CNN sucking Powell's dick
Wednesday October 10 10:48 AM ET Terror Statement May Hold Secret Msg. WASHINGTON (AP) - Secretary of State Colin Powell cautioned on Wednesday that the statements made by Osama bin Laden's terrorist organization and broadcast on televisions around the world may contain ``some kind of message.'' Powell said analysts were looking at the statements, including the one made Tuesday by al-Qaida spokesman Abu Ghaith praising the Sept. 11 terror attacks on the United States and warning there would be more. The secretary of state, appearing on CNN, also thanked the network for limiting its broadcast of the statements. ``I think it's responsible on the part of CNN to shade that a little bit so that we don`t have it coming full force at us and with the potential of perhaps conveying some kind of message,'' he said. CNN did not immediately return phone calls seeking comment about what exactly they will air in the future. http://dailynews.yahoo.com/htx/ap/20011010/us/attacks_cnn_1.html

First it was the Internet, now it's TV. Geesh, haven't these guys ever heard of short-wave? All that Bin Laden has to do is broadcast the words, "Allah akbar" and his operatives execute "Plan A," "inshaalha" and they execute "Plan B," "Bert & Ernie" and they execute "Plan C." They don't need American TV, folks. (Reminds me of the aliens in INDEPENDENCE DAY, using our communications satellites...) S a n d y

Still plenty of "numbers" stations on the air. ( Background" A "numbers station" is a short-wave station where transmissions consists of someone (human or software generated) monotonously reading a sequence of numbers and nothing else. Probably a messages encoded with a OTP). Watch it now. We don't want the gov't getting the idea that all short-wave radios need to registered. -Neil
