Former NATO Secretary General George Robertson wrote in Friday's Financial Times that Europe's militaries were "pathetically ill-equipped for the world we foresee," and that the Continent's "usable deployable troops amount to just 2% of the 2.5 million who are in uniform" a figure which Abuthnot says is "generous." In an interview in Strasbourg, NATO's military committee chairman Giamcampo Di Paolo, an Italian Admiral, told TIME that he is pushing...

...full of winged hearts, symbols of his love for a girl Cullen calls "Harriet," to whom Klebold apparently never spoke. Whereas Harris dreamed of homicide, Klebold dreamed about suicide: "Thinking of suicide gives me hope that i'll be in my place wherever i go after this life--that ill finally not be at war w. myself, the world, the universe."

...most ill-conceived pile of stupidity by the biggest bunch of cretins that I've ever seen in my life," says Ross Wheeler, CEO of Albury.net.au, a regional ISP, referring to the web-filtering plan. "Every ISP that I know of has either publicly or privately said it's technically and practically impossible." The leak was further black icing on the cake. Among the list's more than 1,000 entries were URLs for child porn, rape and bestiality sites as well as online gambling (some forms of which are illegal in Australia) and gay and straight pornography.
