Bush Asleep @ The Wheel?

Ok, so maybe its just me........but shouldn't Bush of named a new Homeland Sec. Dept. Director by Now?

NO word on who may become the Intel Czar?

OH......& If the CIA were a Ship, then somebody'd be yelling "Man Overboard"

Threat Level UN Raised, with NO HS Director in place over Christmas.........& Now Newyears too apparently.

A senior intelligence officer at the CIA has resigned, the sixth high-ranking official to leave since the appointment of a new spy chief.

Deputy director of intelligence Jami Miscik is the most senior official to quit since Porter Goss took over the CIA with a mandate for reform.

Jose,

I made this Post this morning. 3 hours later i was a half mile from my home, cutting Firewood for Elderly Family members. When out of nowhere I heard a roar, i looked to the sky, and i saw an F-15 or 16, which was flying extremely low, and Slow. As it flew over, i thought it must not have been more than 1000 Yards above me, and it was directly above me. The plane flew towards the direction of the sun, then it turned to my Right and Flew back in the direction from which it had come at a speed such that the engine roar could be heard for several minutes.

Another forum, which i frequent, was Hit by some kind of Hack attack. On the day that this happened, the site's home page displayed a message, about a worm. I have heard that several other sites have been Hacked, and i feel as though Our very Freedom to express Our viewpoints....may be under attack.

A forum I used to belong to was also hacked. The site was not only a political forum, but also a place where people could post creative writting. Could Young be right?

Songbird - The site You speak of, is it back up? The site i speak of is known to many here, but i shall Not speak its name as i feel that would be Promoting another and thus i shall call the forum of which i speak AF, and all those who know the site i speak of, Know what AF stands for......AF hasn't come back up yet, and it has been more than 2 weeks. Sean, the attack on AF came from a worm, or atleast that was what the screen said........"This site has been Defaced" then it read, "Worm Version"....something. If AF wasn't backed up, then all Posters have Lost everything they've put into that site, the same could be true for the Site that Songbird speaks of. Sean, I hope that You have backed up Volconvo, I attempted to email the owner of AF.......but as of yet, i've received NO response.

I can verify what Young has posted about AF. It has been more than 14 days now and the site is still down.

Nevertheless, I just wanted to say that Bush is not asleep at the wheel. He's just a stupid little monkey who cannot find enough sheep to walk the plank with him.

No, as far as I'm aware the site I was thinking of is still down. It's been down for about a month now if not more. The admin of the site was someone I know outside of the internet, and he's been so busy he hasn't had time to figure out what happened and get the forum up and running again. What happened was pretty much the same though. There was a message saying "Defaced by____" (Don't remember the name) and some other messages about worms.

The hacked forums are not a result of an angry government, but rather some stupid kid who found an exploit in phpBB. Lazy/uninformed webmasters failed to update to the latest version of the software and got hacked.

Here's an example of a fucked up forum:
