US Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta has warned that the United States faces a possible 'Cyber Pearl Harbor' attack by foreign computer hackers.

Is the risk level really so high? In order to estimate the risk of an attack, you have to understand your enemy. There are various players behind the online attacks, with completely different motives and with different techniques. If you want to effectively defend against attacks, you have to be able to estimate who is most likely going to attack you, and why.

Tensions between Kim Dotcom and Prime Minister John Key were raised as the pair sparred at a parliamentary committee hearing on the government's proposed surveillance law, with Dotcom voicing his opposition to the controversial legislation.

The New Zealand government has proposed a change in the law to allow the Government Communications Security Bureau (GCJB) to provide support to the New Zealand Police, Defense Force and the Security Intelligence Service. Dotcom was voicing his opposition to the law and was the star of the show on the second day of hearings of the secretive Security and Intelligence Committee. "We should avoid blindly following the US into the dark ages of spying. In the end, the GCSB is just a subsidiary of the (US) National Security Agency and the US government calls all the shots," he told the committee.

What do they want? They're not really sure. When do they want it? For a couple of months, or until the weather gets too cold, anyway.

A bunch of adrift Alinskyites and disorganized organizers from a group called "Adbusters" are converging in New York City for some reason or other. They're bringing tents, sleeping bags, yoga instructors, face paint - and at some point, they'll get around to deciding what their "one demand" is...

A troubling look into drone warfare.

The New Mexico desert gets blistering hot, but inside the small windowless container where Brandon Bryant worked as a drone operator for the U.S. Air Force it stays a cool 63 degrees all year long. Sixty-three finger numbing degrees and Bryant describes sitting with a group of other pilots looking at more than a dozen computer monitors. The crew are directing drones over Afghanistan 6,250 miles away and the screens jump with a two to five second delay, as infrared video sent from the UAVs whips through the air to New Mexico. When the order to fire on a target arrives, Bryant paints the roof of a hut with the laser that will guide in a Hellfire missile fired by the pilot beside him. "These moments are like in slow motion," he says to Abé.

In order to understand the "equation", you have to have knowledge of what each of the components stand for. As this develops, I believe you will see how it relates to the reduction and diminishing of the sovereignty of the United States of America.

In March, 2005, the President of the United States, the President of Mexico and the Prime Minister of Canada met in Texas for the creation of the "Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP)." This new agreement was never submitted to the Congress for debate, discussion and/or decision.

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said Wednesday that the U.S. economy has not recovered three years after the end of the recession. Despite this admission, Carney still saw fit to blame former President George W. Bush.

"I think people are still hurting. I think the economy has not recovered, and it's not where it needs to be," Carney said at his daily White House press briefing Wednesday. Carney said the country was still "emerging" from a recession, despite the fact that the recession ended exactly three years ago in June 2009. Carney pointed to a recent report from the Federal Reserve Board that found that median household net worth had declined by almost 40 percent from 2007 to 2010 - a fact he said highlighted the severity of the 2007-2009 recession.

Four previously passed House bills aimed at limiting excessive regulation affecting the coal industry have remained stalled in the Senate. This prompted the House to include them in legislation crafted by the 112th Congress scheduled for a vote on Friday.

The vote will be on a new bill entitled "End the War on Coal Act of 2012" H.R. 3409, which is comprised of the following five pieces of legislation: The first of these is H.R. 910, the Energy Tax Prevention Act, passed in April 2011. It would prevent the Environmental Protection Agency from regulating greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act. Essentially, this bill clamps down on unnecessary actions and regulations enacted to address climate change.

The long-awaited inspector general's report on the Justice Department's botched gun-running scheme is finished, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) said on Wednesday.

But along with that news comes more questions: Issa and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) are demanding to know why a top ATF official involved in Operation Fast and Furious remains on paid leave from ATF -- while simultaneously drawing a six-figure salary from J.P. Morgan, a major investment bank. In a letter to the acting head of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Issa and Grassley asked why the Justice Department would approve such a special arrangement for Bill McMahon.

"Juan, fasten your seat belt," Judge Andrew Napolitano warned liberal Juan Williams before he flabbergasted Williams with a lecture on the Constitution.

"You have abandoned the whole notion of conservatism tonight," a shocked Williams responded to the judge's lecture. "You have abandoned the notion that the Constitution means what it says," Napolitano retorted.
