And then released a security bulletin: hey, people are saying threatening things on the Internet!

Can you imagine if all of that was true except that it could be run by anyone? (Sadly, we have very little -- almost zero -- legal protection for our email in the U.S.)

Why was this downvoted? It's completely factual. Officer Sicknick passed away from natural causes (the narrative that his head was bashed in with a fire extinguisher evaporated a couple of days ago[0]). Two of the protesters had heart attacks and one apparently had a meth overdose. The only person who was killed was shot by police. If you have evidence to the contrary, please cite it.

Wow, that soundcloud sample is amazing. I wonder how long it took to produce it or if it could be produced in real time?

Would it be possible for a state department to aim for a world in which Israel cares more about America's opinion than the other regional powers, such as Iran or Saudi Arabia?

Can you really not think of any other examples where a smaller country might not think, "the adversary of my adversary is my friend"?

Minimization of surface area is a key security principle.

And, generally, security hates complexity.

That may say more about you than about the list ;)

The "reliability" levels reveal more about the inherently biased beliefs of the most active users (i.e., editors) than about the sources themselves. It turns out that "facts" are surprisingly slippery.

"Facebook had taken action against me, personally, that one assumes are reserved for the worst in our society — criminals, pedophiles and conspiracy theorists."

Yah, it's those conspiracy theorists that are the worst in society.
