    It is the most fateful moment in a movie that purports to present a searingly accurate account of the 2012 attacks that left four Americans dead in Benghazi, Libya: a scene in which the highest-ranking CIA operative at a secret agency compound orders his security team to “stand down” rather than rush off to rescue U.S. diplomats under siege less than a mile away. According to the officer in charge of the CIA’s Benghazi base that night, the scene in the movie is entirely untrue. “There never was a stand-down order,” said the base chief known as Bob, speaking publicly...

How about a freep to liven up Midland? The protesters have been showing up 7am-about 10am and then quitting and coming back at the end of the day like 5-7pm. From what I hear the offer SBC put on the table until Monday midnight is a good offer. It has better benefits than the management is getting.

Contest organisers listed the rules of the hacking contest on defacers-challenge.com. The site opened on June 21 and was closed on Wednesday, but technology experts fear many of the world's...
