Read the first line, not that it has anything to do with the article but I believe it was Alan Turing, a British mathemtician who also pioneered logic machines, who was credited with breaking Enigma. Turings work in the (computer field) ended shortly after the creation of Fortran. He was a homosexual durring the time when Britan had laws that punished homosexuals with chemical castration and imprisonment. He did receive treatment in the form of chemical castration following a conviction stemming from his confession of homosexuality durring an investigation of burglary of his home. Turing commited sucide in the mid-50's after years of mental decline due to the chemical castration treatment which left him feeling inadequate as his work was his life.

Just a little FYI

Just read the rest of the article. It is comical that our "intelligence" (I use that term loosely)department cannot arrive at conclusions that were evident to the common American over a year ago. I suppose if they keep denying reality it will disapear? Reminds me of a three year old who thinks he has turned invisible becuase he has covered his own eyes. Our "intelligence" department is nothing more than the PR folks for Bush Inc. I can't believe my tax dollars pay the salleries of these domestic propagandists, I want my money back! As for the state of Iraq and the neighboring states, Iraq obviously is a hornets nest. Iran could be considered the queen's chamber. We are dangerously close to poking the queen in the eye, which of course is going to earn us an arse full of stings. The US should begin a 6 month withdraw immediately while persuing dimplomatic negotiations with Iran. The US is already in an economic crisis and if we continue this path of war which is not only damaging to our world relations but extremely damaging to our economy we will end up like USSR. Being bled to death financially by Afghan campaigns was a major contributor to their fall. We should be spending our tax dollars at home to free ourselves from dependancy on mid-eastern oil. Step two would be to provide petro-alternative technologies to other non-terrorist supporting nations. In time this would starve the oil producers financially rendering them incapable of amassing the military capability to pose a threat to us as well as incapable to financially support large scale terrorist activities. this is our only long term solution. As long as we continue to economically support these nations we are complicit in any terrorist activies mounted against us! The US was once dominate in the world trade due to our once massive supply of natural resources: wood, iron ore, etc etc.., and the speed at which we could produce such products. All of our national exports as well as our domestic consumable material can only be refined with the use of, either directly or indirectly, petroleum. With the majority of our petroleum coming from nations who are enemies, they have us in a very delicate situation. We continue to pretend that nations such as Saudi Arabia Jordan, and Pakistan are our allies when the facts dictate otherwise. The US would do itself a great favor by freeing ourselves of their dependency and declaring a closed door policy with these nations and their agents.

that's my afternoon rant
