So close to stopping the 9/11 attacks and yet, the CIA and FBI both dropped the ball. If any of you remember the months following 9/11 a lot of blame was placed on lack of interagency cooperation and here we have proof of the lack of said cooperation.

How would the world have been different if the CIA and FBI had talked and acted on their information?

I'm afraid the cynic in me thinks - but by not acting on information, it gives them the ability to claim that if only they had access to much more information, like phone calls, emails, web history of EVERYONE EVERYWHERE - then they might of been able to prevent it, despite there being no evidence that since they have gained access to all the extra information - they still haven't actually managed to prevent anything.

This article is so full of speculation and supposition that it really doesn't even qualify as news. To be honest given the recent events around the 9/11 attack it becomes clear that 
this is just a diversion from the very real possibility of the Saudi Kingdom's involvement in the attacks.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
