“Bad US Army Intel”
Posted by ePlus on 27 October, 2008 at 5:18 amReading through one of the articles on Slashdot about US Army seeing the note posting site Twitter as a terrorist tool, one of the comments made by “flyingsquid (813711)“ made me laugh, and you know, me being kind ‘n all thought I’d share it with you! 
First, here is the scoop:
Mike writes
“A draft US Army intelligence report has identified the popular micro-blogging service Twitter as a potential terrorist tool. A chapter titled ‘Potential for Terrorist Use of Twitter’ notes that Twitter members reported the July Los Angeles earthquake faster than news outlets and activists at the Republican National Convention in Minneapolis used it to provide information on police movements. ‘Twitter is already used by some members to post and/or support extremist ideologies and perspectives,’ the report said. The report goes on to say, ‘Terrorists could theoretically use Twitter social networking in the US as an operation tool.’ Just wait until the Army finds out about chat rooms and email!”
Further down the page after some comments, “flyingsquid (813711)“ says:
What are you doing?
Husayn is trying to figure out these stupid remote triggering devices. Anything to avoid spending Ramadan with his wife’s sisters!
Ali is watching Coalition troop movements. Bo-ring!
Kamel wishes the carpet bombing would stop soon. The cave is cold. And the other martyrs smell bad.
Akbar is thinking about the 72 virgins awaiting him in Paradise. They better not be fat like his sister Fatima, or he is going to feel very mislead by his imam.
Commander Tariq says his Mujahedin should stop using the Zionist tool Twitter and get back to fighting the infidels, or he will beat them like the cowardly she-goats they are.
