Link Salad, Friday Edition

I had my first session with my personal trainer yesterday. (She looks and acts like Central Casting's idea of a personal trainer.) Today, though, muscles I forgot I had are reminding me that they exist. [insert witty and/or funny transition here] Have some links:

1) In an attempt to get one step ahead of Internet bank fraud, IBM is offering a PC-on-a-stick.

2) I am not a cat person, so I read with amusement how your cat is making you crazy. There's a wonderful SF story or two in there.

3) Apparently, the current clown-car-crop of Republicans found biofuel funny. Well, the US Air Force dares you to laugh at their biofuel. It really is sad how stupid the current political debate has gotten.

4) A quick reminder of the costs of war and why we shouldn't be in a hurry to get in one.

5) A reminder - I will be down in Westville tomorrow signing books at our lovely new library.

It's not like Israel hasn't been waging a medium grade intelligence/black ops war on them too... unless we think that the nuclear plants accidentally caught viruses and all those nuclear scientists were accidentally shot during muggings gone wrong...

Recently, yes. The term you're looking for is not "intelligence/black ops," it's assassination. Iran has been waging such a war against the West since at least 1989.
