So let me get this straight. The Pentagon (the folks doing their darndest to keep this country from harm) are setting up an online betting..uh, marketing site where folks can wager..er, invest on the possibility/probability of assassinations, and terrorist acts. Yeah, buddy! Where do I sign up?

Oh, wait...you can only bet on these events in OTHER countries and if you mention the possibility that some current elected official may come to harm the FBI, Secret Service or Homeland Security agent could be knocking on your door. Oh! Well, that's very different.

If this was the scenario of of a movie, every reviewer would be ranting about the believablity of the script. Hell, it sounds to me like one of those internet rumors that will eventually be shown to be B.S.

There seem to be some folks in Congress who don't appreciate a little initiative on the part of our Military Establishment to make a few bucks and 'secure possible intelligence'. Right! Stay tuned!
