Believing the 12-year old data was still current reflects a serious myopic self-indulgence on the part of the student, though, and on the part of Bush for failing to notice the data was OBSOLETE INFORMATION.

Well Amos I take it that you too have not really researched what the Post-Grad's Paper was on have you? It detailed ways and means of hiding things inside Iraq and abroad, and although things would not be exactly the same it provides excellent study material to indicate how things can be done and what to look out for.

Like the IED's being encountered in Afghanistan, the Taliban could learn some lessons from Kesselring's troops in Italy when it comes to setting booby-traps, how they did things could be considered as OBSOLETE INFORMATION by clowns who feel the need to re-invent the wheel every two decades, but without a shadow of a doubt they were a damn sight more clever and more resourceful than the Taliban are today, so does that mean we shouldn't study their methods?
