US Generals Feed Intelligence Data to the Syrian Regime

And Its Been Happening For Some TimeAccording to RT, Seymour Hersh has reported that the head of the DIA and Chiefs of Staff, reported this intelligence military to military through a 3rd party military, which eventually made its way to the Syrian regime.

This is startling to say the least - As Seymour alludes to, the Generals felt that they were honouring the U.S. constitution if not the president. Agree with Seymour that it's confounding in the extreme why the administration up until lately wanted to oust Assad. Guess they felt that satisfying Turkey and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as more important. Sad.

Makes one wonder about the competence of those in power in the U.S. government!

License Plate Reader Software For The Little Guy

2004 New Brunswick license plate, scanned from...
While perusing the Debian-Planet blog today I noticed a post by Petter Reinholdtsen, where he discusses license plate software, (aka license plate reader) that will read the license plate in pictures and videos and output in machine readable format.
It is available in github here, but the developer and Petter have it packaged for Debian. Presently it's sitting in the new que, hopefully it will be in Debian SID soon.

Petter explains on his blog post his reasoning why it should be available to the rest of us, and I must say I agree with his thinking. When tools are available only to the powerful, as in governments, then a state of tyranny exists in my opinion.

Please read Petter's blog post for more information.
