RSS: Making knowledge populist.

I try to follow security related issues fairly closely and I am fairly surprised to see the delay of at least a day in reporting major issues like Halliburton’s move to Dubai, and even greater delay of up to a week with smaller stories. It is kind of odd, because I used to rely heavily on news networks for news, and now I find myself moving away from them and more towards the blogs of their sources. Its funny how a RSS reader can make a news service like the BBC superfluous by cutting out the middle man. RSS/Aggregators give the reader the power to create their own micro news service with the opportunity for speedy receiption of news, and more detailed coverage of what they are interested in. It will be interesting to see what happens to places like the BBC/NPR where people conventionally went for the same type of information. I guess they’ll have to get faster or provide more original content.

I have been away for awhile, but let me see if I can back into the swing of things. Anyway, I have a couple thoughts for today.

1. It is incomprehensible that these folks at fox and other “Republican” pundits refuse to acknowledge Scooter Libby IS a criminal. I think that they are forgetting that Libby did two unforgivable things;
a. Outted an undercover US intelligence operative because he and his ilk were irritated at her HUSBAND
b. Lied to federal investigators. These crimes transcend political boundaries as they acted against the interests of ALL citizens. Anyone defending his actions (other than the man paid to) have some cajones to even call themselves American.

2. Another point for Later about Iraq. Leaders at all levels need to give their subordinates guidance so they can share their vision. I’ll try to expound on that a little later.

In the mean time I’ll leave you with an interesting article from Larry Johnson at No Quarter.
