I saw it also.....

Hansen should hang .....recind the plea deal and hang the scum!

[StolarStorm]

What and how does Promis work?

[That Poppins Woman]

Know that Promis is a big deal and also involved with Koresh at WACO.

One of the original programmers of PROMIS (before DOJ stole it) was a Davidian.

I'm gonna' spuke - what a tangled web we weave (they wove...).

[openotherend]

Do you suppose OBL knows how to access the trap door?

[vbmoneyspender]

could someone out there with programming skills explain to me how software that is 20 years old could be such a big deal?

[longleaf]

There was an investigative reporter named Danny Cassolaro who "suicided" himself because he was getting too close to the truth of Promis/Inslaw. This happened a couple of years before the Davidians "set themselves on fire."

Promis/Inslaw was so devious and crooked a scheme on the part of our government that it is almost poetic justice that bin Laden obtained it, if he did. It was not ever going to be used for the benefit of mankind.

Big News. My SO just saw it, told me about the news. The bearded p***k needs to have a few curve balls thrown his way in the software front, while our military hardware continuously pounds his hell-bound hide into oblivion.

[11bravo]

Give me a break!!!! Promis is a logistics and accounting software package first developed by IP Sharp in the 80's. The only thing it could do for OBL would be to monitor his assets and acquisitions. This would tell him which cave they were burried in. It is also riddled with "back doors" that I am sure the CIA has access to.

[manumission]

Here is a previous FR thread on the issue.

PROMIS

[anniegetyourgun]

PM Sharon is talking a Palestinian state, Arafat is losing his grip on Hamas & Hezbollah, folks are choosing up sides, and then there is this. Don't you think there is someone out there who might be able to step up to the plate to solve all these problems? He could take controls of information and financial difficulties. He could get all the "kings" together and bring "peace and security." He could co-opt all the major world religious leaders - to preach tolerance and common ground. Why, he could even sign an agreement with all the parties.

Nah, wouldn't happen....

Also the reason Kennedy was shot. It is so top secret it was stored at area 51.

[Ted]

Ping for truth. Regards.

How definite is that, i.e., do we know for a fact that a Davidian helped develop the software?

[lucyblue]

I nearly fell off my chair when I heard this on Fox!
I didn't catch it all so I did a quick Google search.
There sure wasn't much (nothing current) but I did find this:
