Links of the Day
First off, I'm way behind on e-mail. I read everything sent, but I often flag e-mail for follow up when I have more time to think of a good reply. Now I have like a million flagged e-mails (including many from when I was gone last week). Tomorrow after work, I'm going to try and take care of a lot of them. Second, I just got my Misha Mug, and it is a work of art. The gold trim at the rim just makes it perfect. It's almost too good looking to drink coffee from. ThoseShirts.com seems as good with mugs as they are with t-shirts. Anyway, links! Here's a story of a man whose picture should be in the dictionary next to "American Hero." I have We Were Soldiers on my Netflix rental queue to see that part of his life which I was too young to hear of firsthand, but we all know of what made his final chapter. The Patriette has a form for getting a date with her. I like this idea. I should put out a form that makes me more like an exclusive club. Yeah, that will get me more women. While I think about that, I'll fill out the Patriette's form and see how I do. I have a great interest in security, computer and otherwise, and Brian J. has something everyone should read about shredding documents. A Libertarian in the Countryside has moved and changed names to Alice Bachini (though Alice Bachini herself is unchanged). I'm starting to wonder if Blackfive is just a great liar. He has too many awesome anecdotes. Plus, I have some words for Alliance members. Tomorrow I hope to write a bit about my brothers wedding along with the usual political stuff. See you then. 3 Responses To "Links of the Day"
Frank: you should try to read HEART OF A SOLDIER by James Stewart -- the biography of Rick Rescorla. He was truly an amazing man. Among the things I did not expect to learn was how Rick and his best friend Dan Hill had accurately predicted the events of 9-11. After the first hit on the WTC in 93, Rick, Dan, and another army buddy spent significant time and computer modeling, etc. reviewing the situation. There was not one shadow of a doubt in any of their minds that the Islamo-fascists would make a second run at those towers. What they anticipated was a large cargo plane (like FedEx) piloted by a suicide martyr. They figured a cargo plane would be easier to hijack and could hold more fuel, hence more destruction. In addition, Dan Hill, under the direction of Rick Rescorla, went out in a given radius of NYC and spied in every mosque. Remember this is 1993-94. Dan spoke fluent Arabic and could pass himself off flawlessly as a light-skinned Afghani. He was horrified at what he saw and heard, and he took copious notes which were passed to the FBI and other Intel. He correctly identified the home base of the Blind Shiek dude who now rots in prison for his role in the 93 attack. After 1993, Rick Rescorla took all necessary actions and initiatives within his tower (South I believe) and within his org. (Dean Witter-Morgan Stanley) that saved the lives of all but 2 or 3 of the employees in his care. He drilled them til they practically screamed. He made sure all stairwells had glow-in-the-dark tape. He made sure the backup generators worked. He had a plan for everything. Most important, he won their trust. So that, when the STUPID FREAKING Port Authority announced "all clear" and told them to go back to their offices, his employees ignored the PA and followed Rick's instructions... to their salvation. Rick was last seen going back into the tower, apparently to try and rescue an exec who had refused to follow instructions earlier. #1 - Posted by: SallyVee on September 16, 2003 04:14 AMNo, Frank J., I am just one colossal idiot... #2 - Posted by: Blackfive on September 16, 2003 09:59 AMThere's a link to a video of an interview with Rick Rescorla at this site: http://publish.bsu.edu/JLLEES/politiblog.html Very interesting, and very sad. #3 - Posted by: Minstrel on September 17, 2003 08:49 PMPost a comment
