#1 Rumsfeld approves secret counter-terrorism plans: Washington Post..
Details of the plans are secret

yeeaarriigghhtt..

With all the spy's, foreign and domestic within our government, media and universities, flourishing as it were in a culture of sedition and treason, at the very least we should expect that SOCOM counterterrorism plans are already on the Pulitzer ~~committee~~ Comintern's hard drive.

#2 This A01 page WaPo story is not news, perhaps recycled news.

#3 Developed over about three years by the Special Operations Command (SOCOM) in Tampa, the plans reflect a beefing up of the Pentagon's involvement in domains traditionally handled by the Central Intelligence Agency and the State Department, The Post said.

Yes, but it does help understand the shrill, shrieking calls to have Rumsfeld removed.

Good for Rusmsfeld and those that planned this. Last time when they attacked us, it was difficult because their was no nation state that we could retaliate against - but not the next time. We know more and we will know who and how to eliminate those that seek to kill us.

#5 The Pentagon also gained the leeway to inform -- rather than win the approval of -- the US ambassador before conducting military operations in a foreign country, according to the report.

No more AMBO, COS, diplodink bootlicking. Praise be to Alan! Things should begin to turn around very soon now. I thought I would never see this day.

#6 Rumsfeld approves secret counterterrorism plans: Washington Post

And exactly how do you know about any "Secret" plans?
Let's see your Security Clearance.
Did you read the part about "Unauthorized Disclosure?"

Bullshit.

This was long overdue - Ops was probably rotting under the CYA system at CIA - maybe this will spur them to get their stuff tgether and stop fighting Bush/Goss and start fighting bad guys and taking a few risks. And any ops we can pull away from State are bonuses in my book - because State is working cross purposes to DoD and the IC most of the time anyways.

#8 Citing unnamed defence officials

It would be interesting to know whether the officials were authorized to release this information... or whether this was a test to find those who don't understand the limits their current employment places on their freedom to speak. Or an excuse to put certain people under a lie detector...
