So the CIA controls both the New Yorker and the Sydney Morning Herald?

Yeah, on top of that, they control Slashdot. Oh, and anyone who even nods at all positively toward the war in Iraq then you can be sure that the CIA is behind it and controlling them. Oh and you, Anonymous Coward, you are the most CIA controlled actor around. Did you see how you just questioned a conspiracy theory? That reeks of CIA.

No, the Aussies "gave" us Rupert Murdoch, all right. Thus turning him loose to do more damage worldwide than in their own country. I'd say that was a smart move.
I'm surprised the Japanese haven't used the same tactic with Godzilla.

Guys, didn't anyone tell you, the war in I-raq is over already.
Don't worry, you've still got the war on drugs, the (generic) war on terror, and the war in Afghanistan to win (i.e. beat the enemy senseless in 12 days, then stay there for 10 years too long until the locals get pissed and ask you to leave).
And coming soon to a munitions manufacturer near you, advance orders for the war on I-ran.
There was a time when winning a war meant going in, killing the bad guys, grabbing all the boots you could carry, and coming home again, not forgetting to burn the place to the ground on the way out. I'm not sure if the message got lost in translation across the Atlantic or what ?

Haven't you heard? In Australia, the penalty for serious crimes is exile to the United States.

You silly americans. Wasting time on sophisticated chip in brain when bullet in brain works almost as good and pass through tinfoil.

Some of these 3 letter agencies may or may not have even approached Mr Taco (and others) for permission to graft certain articles along with their comments such that they are visible 'on the other side of the air gap' so to speak.
As it says at the bottom, "Comments are owned by the Poster."
So I checked my Slashdot Achievements list and right in between "Got a score 5 comment" and "Days metamoderated in a row" I see "NSA hall of fame" they need to ask me for permission not Cmdr Taco. Note to Cmdr Taco -> A good achievement for 4/1/2011
No idea what the NSA wants with articles like "Help Me Get My Math Back?" or "Hollywood's Growing Obsession With Philip K. Dick" (which would have been much funnier without the first and middle names)
