Are You a Twitter Terrorist?
The U.S. Army has released a report regarding Terrorism 2.0. In the report, published by the 304th Military Intelligence Battalion, there is a chapter entitled "Potential for Terrorist Use of Twitter." Sounds scary doesn't it?

I guess it could be true. Terrorists might want to know where each other are shopping, or what the other terrorists are eating right now. According to the Twitter division of the Army: "Twitter has also become a social activism tool for socialists, human rights groups, communists, vegetarians, anarchists, religious communities, atheists, political enthusiasts, hacktivists and others to communicate with each other and to send messages to broader audiences." Be afraid of the vegetarians and the human rights groups. There use of twitter could bring the whole world to an end.

I admit, I have not read the report, but the very concept seems a bit alarmist. Yes, people use social networking sites. Yes some people are bad. Yes, some bad people will use social networking sites. I have also heard that terrorists and vegetarians are both eating tomatoes. Next, the Army will be after our Ketchup.
