"By SIOBHAN GORMAN WASHINGTON -- A secret Central Intelligence Agency initiative terminated by Director Leon Panetta was an attempt to carry out a 2001 presidential authorization to capture or kill al Qaeda operatives, according to former intelligence officials familiar with the matter."

And the difference between the C.I.A. and the KGB or Al Qaeda themselves is 'what,' - how they label 'enemies of the state??"

No surprise, though, to hear that Dick Cheney was evidently at the back of the assassination plan...

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

I'm sure it's not politically correct, but at least someone tried to get rid of these monsters.

One of the many problems with that thinking is, who's going to do the labelling? The guy who kills them? Power corrupts.
