GrogNews Morning Headlines

I'm going to try for more timely loads from AUSA today. We'll see how it goes. Meanwhile, here's some headlines for your morning...

The US lost contact with about 50 missile launch silos but says they never lost control of the nukes. I'll bet the UFO conspiracists are already lining up to explain this one, eh?

One of the USS Cole bombers/planners was interrogated in Poland, and now that he's on trial in there, local authorities have granted him "victim" status because of his interrogations.

Western powers are taking a two-pronged approach to shutting down the Taliban: either lure them out of fighting with jobs and development, or shut them down with local militias. Or a third, I guess: kill them.
This as Gorby is telling NATO that they can't win in Afghanistan. No. You couldn't win. Doesn't mean we won't.

EADS is pointing to their success with the Lakota helicopter to bolster their case for the new KC-X tanker. This as Boeing runs a bunch of disingenuous radio ads around DC (and has for at least 6 months up here).

The FBI has linked the shootings at the Marine Corps Museum and the Pentagon, and is looking at linking a local recruiting station shooting, too.
