Internet and find themself spart, you see people who have had no training, no association with it, including americans, who go on the internet and find themself s themselves enthralled because of whatever lost souls they are or because of the violence with isil and selfradicalize and unfortunately undertake to do violence. So you see that spectrum there. You do see some effort by isil, meaning isil in syria and iraq to command and control, but its not exclusively that way. I say all this because thats very distinctly different from the al qaeda model. The al qaeda model was a very hierarchical, very clear command and control type terrorist enemy. And that meant they had discipline and it meant they could take on big things like 9 11, but it also meant that when we started to go after them they were vulnerable to attacks on the command and control structure and on their logistics structure. Isils more resilient because it is more decentralized and informal in that kind of sense. Takes a
Discuss the future of television technology. A Government Accountability Office Report has found that construction of a new u. S. Embassy in kabul afghanistan, has gone 27 overbudget. Gao and state Department Officials testified about the project at a House Oversight committee hearing. Republican Jason Chaffetz chairs this three and a half hour hearing. Committee on oversight and government reform will come to order.

In talking about alcohol in the period of alcohol prohibition, bootleg dhol was adulterated with methyl alcohol and other compounds and drinkers were blinded and people were paralyzed and there was a term called jake leg which was a kind of paralysis in which people were perm nentsly injured from their use of alcohol and that, of course, we know is the function of prohibition and not of the legal control. Are these drugs harmful . The evidence is of people who present themselves to the police and so on yes, these seem to be quite harmful. They are harmful as a consequence of the market distortions that Law Enforcement creates for the drugs that people want to get and there was an article in the New York Times magazine this sunday, i didnt want to use these drugs, but theyre easier to get and theyre being represented as be
And one of the reasons they oppose this agreement, and i invite you to talk to the Intel Community about that is that they see themselves losing the cover of the Nuclear Umbrella that they had hoped to have for their that fair rows activities. Theres nothing here to prevent us from bushing back going forward. Were all free to Work Together to build the pushback against the destabilizing activities.
