As if the US Army had nothing better to do, they have apparently done a study of the Twitter, and the potential use thereof by terrorists.

From the report:

A chapter on “Potential for Terrorist Use of Twitter” notes that Twitter members sent out messages, known as “Tweets,” reporting the July Los Angeles earthquake faster than news outlets and activists at the Republican National Convention in Minneapolis used it to provide information on police movements.

“Twitter has also become a social activism tool for socialists, human rights groups, communists, vegetarians, anarchists, religious communities, atheists, political enthusiasts, hacktivists and others to communicate with each other and to send messages to broader audiences,” the report said.

Good gravy, a service that’s up as often as it’s down, still manages to stay ahead of the MSM? Who knew? And now, Afghani cave-dwellers with mal intent will use the Twitter to launch the next attack on The Homeland? Terrorists aren’t dumb; they prefer working services.

So, all you socialist-human_rights-communist-vegetarian-anarchist-religious-atheist-political_enthusiast-hactkivist-jihadists, don’t tweet me. Oops, I forgot. I somehow managed to log on to the Twitter during a rare period of uptime, and cancelled my account.

I’ll say nothing about free speech, now that the Feds care. Hell, I might even resurrect my old Twitter account. My way of telling them “Nuts!”
