A few sites are starting to get a story about how the "Domestic Terror Task Force" is being ressurected. '"But now, as the nature of the threat we face evolves to including the possibility of individual radicalization via the Internet, it is critical that we return our focus to potential extremists here at home," Holder said in the video broadcast.'

I'd crawl over an acre of 'Visual This++' and 'Integrated Development
That' to get to gcc, Emacs, and gdb. Thank you.

Well, that would be the Fox so-called News version (lamestream media).
The Howard Zinn version would note that the USA got its ass kicked by some little pajama-wearing dudes who wanted the latest batch of imperialists out of their country.
The writing was on the wall starting in 1968. [wikipedia.org]
In the end, there was such a mad scramble to get out of there that very expensive stuff [baltimorepostexaminer.com] was getting shoved into the ocean. [e-torch.org]
Events in 1970 showed that the US imperialists had no qualms about murdering American children inside the borders of USA. [wikipedia.org]
...and it didn't matter to the Military-Industrial Complex that many of the dead and wounded children weren't even part of the protest and were just "collateral damage".
Real people, however, were extremely pissed.
The zeal for an illegal military occupation on the other side of the globe had waned years before.

That's not entirely true: Richard Nixon did send an apology to the family of Bill Schroeder, a ROTC cadet killed by the National Guard on his way to class that day. Which in some ways is even more telling, because nobody apologized to the families of anyone else hit in that protest. They apparently felt bad for him because he was soon going to be a part of the Military-Industrial complex, so killing him was reducing their war readiness a bit.
The only thing that stops a bad guy with a compiler is a good guy with a compiler.

That's all well and good, but Ford wasn't President (or VP) in 1970 when Kent State happened, and it was under his watch that the war finally ended. The previous Presidents refused to pull out.
