    They were not all felt. They were detected by machines.

    Of those that were felt, most had people wondering if someone bumped their desk or if there was a sudden gust of wind against their building.

    If its about war, violence and rape, I am sure it will be a hit in America. If it was just a love story, not so much.

    Osama Bin Laden was at war with the United States.

    The rules of war do not allow for an individual or group to be "at war with a nation". Bin Laden and his group were mere criminals. You glorify them by giving them a status only a nation can have. Please, don't do that. You also give nations the leeway to act very irresponsibly toward criminal justice. Please don't do that either. Trust me, bin Laden was not worth lowering the bar, and I hope I never personally feel any of the practical effects of doing so. But those who advocate lowering the bar on the other hand...

    but a 15 years old even with body fairly developed don't. The first moment they open their mouth it is clear that they are schoolchildren.

    Try to keep in mind that a 15 year old is only 2 years and some months away from being 18.

    Girls can and do mature faster than boys both physically and mentally. I have met 15 year old girls who talk like they are 20 and I have met 20 year old girls who talk like they are 15. Human beings are not created a factory you know! We are all different!

    Not knowing the girl's age is and will forever remain a credible defense anywhere that has a sane judicial system that can see that the sky is not falling because a 15 year old did it with a 35 year old.

    Plame was "outed" by Richard Armitage.

    This is like saying Jimmy Hoffa was killed by a hit-man, and the mafia boss had nothing to do with it. Please. Don't be so naive. Armitage was not acting on a personal vendetta. Even Maxwell Smart could figure out that the Bush Administration was behind it.

    it should not be a surprise to anyone that he is politicizing intelligence

    You might want to wait until the probe is done to write with such certainty. These claims are highly doubtful. I don't see one shred of proof of anything. There is nothing proving Bigelow knows anything, most unlike we knew for sure that Plame was outed.

    For a country claiming to be free and a democracy, America's government keeps way too many secrets.

    Every time I go home I am disgusted to the point of deriding all the paranoia and terror warnings very loudly as I walk along or pass through security. Interestingly, I have not had anyone challenge me on America's overblown and unnecessarily authoritarian reaction to al-Quaida etc except for here on the internet.

    Does anyone really believe that anyone's life is in danger over this information? Does anyone really believe that al-Quaida is a serious threat to American soil or specific American citizens anymore? Does anyone really believe that Bigelow got the names of informants and that she is going to accidentally or intentionally publicize their names?

    I am glad that some of you can keep your fear in check. Gawd.

    They have ways of making you talk! I cannot say exactly how long they can legally hold Hirata because his is a special case, but it could be anywhere from 3 to 4 weeks. He won't be getting much sleep from now on. He will talk. That is if he does not die of sleep dep.

    40 years? Is this what the engineers said? Or are they being ignored again in the interest of money and politics?
