Open Source Homeland

I missed this when it came out earlier this Spring. Awesome wikipedia vandalism down at the bottom two demands.

Adam Yahiye Gadahn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On May 29, 2007 Gadahn again made headlines when another video “Al-Qaeda Video Warning to US by American Adam Gadahn” was released on the internet. In this video Adam Gadahn listed six actions that Bush and America must take in order to prevent future terrorist attacks.

“Pull every last one of your soldiers, spies, security advisors, trainers, attachés , … out of every Muslim land from Afghanistan to Zanzibar …”
End “all support and aid, military, political, economic, or otherwise, to the 56-plus apostate regimes of the Muslim world, and abandon them to their well-deserved fate … ”
“End all support, moral, military, economic, political, or otherwise, to the bastard state of Israel, and ban your citizens, Zionist Jews, Zionist Christians, and the rest from traveling to occupied Palestine or settling there. Even one penny of aid will be considered sufficient justification to continue the fight.”
“… impose a blanket ban on all broadcasts to our region …”
“Free all Muslim captives from your prisons, detention facilities, and concentration camps, regardless of whether they have been recipients of what you call a fair trial or not.”
“Make Paul McCartney and Kenny G. stop performing and recording.”
“Make Ali G. Supreme Leader of the western world.”

Gadahn warned

“…your failure to heed our demands and the demands of reason means that you and your people will - Allah willing - experience things which will make you forget all about the horrors of September 11th, Afghanistan and Iraq and Virginia Tech”.

That’s some quality detail there:

Mohammed Attas Nissan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A 2001 Nissan Altima, 1n4dl01d81c212547 is the VIN of a blue rental car belonging to Alamo Rent A Car, that was found in the Portland International Jetport parking lot, following the September 11, 2001 attacks. It was issued a Massachusetts license plate 3335 VI.

Please, God, let this all make a difference some day. At the very least, these projects seem the opposite of this mouthful that seems to have gone nowhere.

Logged in and Sharing Gossip, er, Intelligence - New York Times
In December, officials say, the agencies will introduce A-Space, a top-secret variant of the social networking Web sites MySpace and Facebook. The “A” stands for “analyst,” and where Facebook users swap snapshots, homework tips and gossip, intelligence analysts will be able to compare notes on satellite photos of North Korean nuclear sites, Iraqi insurgents and Chinese missiles.

A-Space will join Intellipedia, the spooks’ Wikipedia, where intelligence officers from all 16 American spy agencies pool their knowledge. Sixteen months after its creation, officials say, the top-secret version of Intellipedia has 29,255 articles, with an average of 114 new articles and more than 4,800 edits to articles added each workday.

A separate online Library of National Intelligence is to include all official intelligence reports sent out by each agency, offering Amazon.com-style suggestions: if you liked that piece on Venezuela’s oil reserves, how about this one on Russia’s? And blogs, accessible only to other spies, are proliferating behind the security fences.

“We see the Internet passing us in the fast lane,” said Mike Wertheimer, of the office of the Director of National Intelligence, who is overseeing the introduction of A-Space. “We’re playing a little catch-up.”
