The US army is recruiting autistic kids.
Well, they just decided to release him, fortunately.
I suppose they already have tapped the available resources of criminals and killers.
Australia has discovered Dad's Army.
SMH: "People aged 55 and over may soon be signing up for the armed forces in a new plan to tackle the shortage of military personnel."

Politech: "The head of the Homeland Security Department's visitor tracking program on Tuesday called for the creation of a 'global ID management system' to
make travel easier while enhancing security..."
The real reason is to keep track of all citizens all over the world by big brother US. The Netherlands has already given in to the US request to issue 'biometric' passports.
Indymedia: "The neocons managing The Netherlands, like in the US a so called 'Christian government', gave its approval Friday Sept. 16, 2005, for the introduction of a biometric type of ID from October next year, a credit card style 'driving license'.
It's the last nail in the Dutch coffin for freedom: after the yoke of compulsory ID cards now the Dutch get an electronic bit in their mouth, completing the electronic steering."
However, the security of the Dutch biometric passport has already been cracked.
Security? On the contrary.

The Yes Men are at it again.
"Small-time criminals impersonate honest people in order to steal their money. Targets are ordinary folks whose ID numbers fell into the wrong hands.
Honest people impersonate big-time criminals in order to publicly humiliate them. Targets are leaders and big corporations who put profits ahead of everything else.
The Yes Men have impersonated some of the world's most powerful criminals at conferences, on the web, and on television, in order to correct their identities. They currently have hundreds of thousands of job openings."
Halliburton solves global warming:
"Most scientists believe global warming is certain to cause an accelerating onslaught of hurricanes, floods, droughts, tornadoes, etc. and that a world-destroying disaster is increasingly possible.
In order to head off such catastrophic scenarios, scientists agree we must reduce our carbon emissions by 70% within the next few years. Doing that would seriously undermine corporate profits, however, and so a more forward-thinking solution is needed.
At today's conference, Wolf and a colleague demonstrated three SurvivaBall mockups, and described how the units will sustainably protect managers from natural or cultural disturbances of any intensity or duration. The devices - looking like huge inflatable orbs - will include sophisticated communications systems, nutrient gathering capacities, onboard medical facilities, and a daunting defense infrastructure to ensure that the corporate mission will not go unfulfilled even when most human life is rendered impossible by catastrophes or the consequent epidemics and armed conflicts."

Tony Blair is desperate. His cabinet reshuffle after his election losses will only save him for a few more months. His is making more and more mistakes.
Independent: "The newly appointed government minister responsible for equality is facing controversy after she refused to say whether she believed homosexuality was a sin.
Ruth Kelly, the Secretary of State for Communities, a committed Catholic and member of the Opus Dei group, was embroiled in a renewed row over her religious beliefs yesterday. And critics attacked her new role as the Government's equality champion after it emerged she had missed a series of votes on equal rights since 1997."
TimesOnline: "The Attorney-General this evening launched Britain's most outspoken attack yet of the US detention centre at Guantanamo Bay, demanding the closure of what he described as an international symbol of injustice.
At a keynote speech in Whitehall, London, Lord Goldsmith QC said that the US policy of detaining terrorism suspects without trial at the prison camp in Cuba was 'unacceptable'."
But Blair still has 'the smile that wins' and he plucks 'The roses of success'. But not for long.
