The Stupid, Mindless Security State

In this case, it's USAF Gen. Michael Hamel, who feels the need to warn us about the extential threat that Google Earth poses to the United States.

"It could be as simple as how is it that an adversary gets an image off of Google Earth that could somehow threaten American lives or interests ..... "That is an example of a space threat that we may face in the future."

And as a commenter said, "Right... and pigs can fly. Or rather, the good General may wish a Pig Ban because if pigs could fly they might somehow hurt US interests."

I'm beginning to wonder why a disproportionate number of these mind-boggling stupid statements coming from generals seem to come from USAF generals.

Must be something in the water at Colorado Springs...Come to think of it, that is where dog and child beater James Dobson's Focus on the Family is located.
