We've had some lively discourse on the Waco FLIR on the ExI list.
The input of list members, especially Hal's, was very intelligent!
Be sure to check out my latest report in Ubiquity on that topic...

1. Waco FLIR Debunked
The 51-day standoff in Waco, Texas between members of the Branch
Davidian sect and federal agents ended tragically when the Mount Carmel
Center burned to the ground, leaving over 70 of its inhabitants dead.
Before and during the fire an aircraft circled overhead with a heat
detecting FLIR (forward-looking infrared) video camera. UltraHIQ
reporter Ian Goddard investigates the reports of taped gunfire in the
current issue of Ubiquity:

4. Christopher Michael Langan's HIQ & A
Q: Do you feel that it's hypocritical for a resident of a nation with a
history of war and conquest to speak negatively about his or her own
nation's warring history (or any others nations), because their freedom
(to say that) and location are both war-secured and militarily
protected?* - Joe, Whitestone, NY
A: Yes and no. Yes, it is hypocritical to use one’s freedom to
denigrate those through whose sacrifices that freedom was won and is
maintained. But when one deplores war in general and war is deplorable
- one’s critique must, in principle, include even the warlike history of
one’s own nation. This means that specific conflicts can only be
justified on a case-by-case basis.
War is a terrible thing. But at the same time, it is historically
obvious that war has sometimes been the only alternative to violence and
oppression. It follows that we must distinguish between war in general,
and specific wars involving specific nations. With respect to the
former, the absence of a specific context enables one to make
context-free ethical judgments. But with respect to particular nations
and conflicts, ethical judgments are context-sensitive. That is, they
cannot be made without contextual information.
