US Army Sees Twitter As Possible Terrorist "Operation Tool"

Mike writes "A draft US Army intelligence report has identified the popular micro-blogging service Twitter as a potential terrorist tool. A chapter titled 'Potential for Terrorist Use of Twitter' notes that Twitter members reported the July Los Angeles earthquake faster than news outlets and activists at the Republican National Convention in Minneapolis used it to provide information on police movements. 'Twitter is already used by some members to post and/or support extremist ideologies and perspectives,' the report said. The report goes on to say, 'Terrorists could theoretically use Twitter social networking in the US as an operation tool.' Just wait until the Army finds out about chat rooms and email!"

US indicts UBS wealth management head

UBS suffered its biggest blow yet in the US investigation into its offshore banking activities for rich American clients as US authorities said they had indicted Raoul Weil, the Swiss bank’s head of global wealth management. The US Department of Justice indictment also said other senior unnamed UBS’s executives were involved as alleged “unindicted co-conspirators�. Separately, the indictment includes detailed allegations about how other, more junior, managers sought to circumvent US tax rules over a period of years. The DoJ claims Weil used the expression “toxic waste� to refer to the US business because of its acute sensitivity. In a statement Tuesday night, UBS said Weil would relinquish his duties pending resolution of the matter and said the bank was “fully committed� to continuing co-operating with the probe.

How US Schools' Culture Stifles Math Achievement

Zarf writes "I'd like to file a bug report on the US educational system. The New York Times reports on a recent study that shows the US fails to encourage academic talent as a culture.'"There is something about the culture in American society today which doesn't really seem to encourage men or women in mathematics," said Michael Sipser, the head of M.I.T.'s math department. "Sports achievement gets lots of coverage in the media. Academic achievement gets almost none."' While we've suspected that the US might be falling behind academically, this study shows that it is actually due to cultural factors that are devaluing the success of our students. I suspect there's a flaw in the US cultural system that prevents achievement on the academic front as valuable.

US Elections: What direction now for US space exploration?

US CONGRESSMAN Adam Schiff was touring Pakistan in May when NASA's Phoenix spacecraft touched down on Mars. He was struck by the glowing accounts of NASA's triumph that suddenly dominated the Pakistani newspapers. "In a country where there are such deep suspicions about what the US does, there was at least one area where the reaction was uniformly positive," says Schiff, whose district in California includes NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which built Phoenix. "And it's one area where the US shows that it is capable of doing great things."

Report is Critcal of US For Dumping E-Waste Overseas

coondoggie writes "In what may be the least astonishing news of the day, some major US companies who say they are environmentally recycling electronic waste — aren't. Rather more startling — they are dumping everything from cell phones and old computers to televisions in countries such as China and India where disposal practices are unsafe to people and dangerous to the environment. Controlling the exportation of all of the e-waste plops on the doorstep of the US Environmental Protection Agency which is doing a woeful job, according to a scathing 67-page report issued by the Government Accountability Office today."
