...pump billions of dollars into weapons of dubious utility in the war on terror-like the Army's $161 billion Future Combat Systems. The Army says this welter of weapons-tanks and helicopters, both manned and unmanned, all bound together with computer data links-will let soldiers "move, shoot and communicate better than ever before." But at a time when the military is still belatedly buying sufficient armor for its Humvees and troops on the ground in Iraq, critics suggest such grandiose schemes only fuel suspicion that the Pentagon itself is a victim...
...Half-pipe fans should expect a stunning show in Torino. Despite winning four of the six possible men's and women's medals in Salt Lake City, expectations are even higher for the 2006 Games, which start on Feb. 10.

This will knock a lot of plans out of contention, but that's O.K. In the end, you're going to be left with only one plan anyway. Ultra-cheap plans include...
...shoot in India, a country of Hindus? This is dealt with in a scene. A government official tells me, "There are over 150 million Muslims in India. That enough for ya?" Even if I wanted to shoot in the Arab world, I wasn't able...
