Question of the Day

[Andi]

Will our troops receive royalties?

News from Capernaum

[Greyhawk]

Physician, heal thyself:

...a series of online audits, conducted by the Army, suggests that official Defense Department websites post far more potentially-harmful than blogs do.

The audits, performed by the Army Web Risk Assessment Cell between January 2006 and January 2007, found at least 1,813 violations of operational security policy on 878 official military websites. In contrast, the 10-man, Manassas, Virginia, unit discovered 28 breaches, at most, on 594 individual blogs during the same period.

<...>

There are many more Army web sites and web pages available for review on traditional Army web sites than there are BLOGs and BLOG pages, therefore because of volume alone, it must be expected that there will be more violations found on the traditional web sites.
Noah Schachtmann: "Um, no."

Me: Gosh, I can't decide which snappy one liner to use...

1. A helpful link.

2. This might explain the problem.

3. Oh, by the way - that's just the Army web sites. Who knows what treasures await on the pages of the other three...

4. Heh - I'd better be safe and never quote an offical public web page here.

5. All the above.

(Luke 4:23)

Listen Up - Updated

[Andi]

Tonight on SpouseBUZZ Talk Radio, airforcewife will interview author Brad Thor. Thor writes novels that take place during the Global War on Terror. I haven't read any of his books, but airforcewife has read all of them and she told me something quite interesting,

In Thor's last book, Takedown, the main character falls in love with a woman whose face had been disfigured by an IED. She has returned to the GWoT to keep on fighting. In his latest book, The First Commandment, she is the endangered love interest.

Which reminded me of something I've read in several comment sections lately. Coincidence, or has Scott Thomas Beauchamp been reading Brad Thor? Yeah, a real stretch, I agree. Interesting nonetheless. In any event, airforcewife says she plans to ask Thor about the similarities.

Click here to listen live. The interview will take place between 9:00 - 10:00 p.m. EDT.

Update: airforcewife asked Thor about the fact that some commenters on various blog sites have wondered if Beauchamp was reading Thor novels. First time Thor has heard of the chatter. Thor says he's going to check into it. You can listen to the audio file below. Beauchamp talk is about 45 minutes in, so you can fast-forward.
