Meanwhile, in other Sith-related news, federal authorities have shut down online file-sharing network Elite Torrents. The network had Star Wars: Episode III--Revenge of the Sith available as a download hours before the film even bowed in U.S. theaters on May 19. Officials for the Justice Department and Department of Homeland Security said users of the site had downloaded Sith more than 10,000 times in its first 24 hours of availibility.*
This is what the Department of Homeland Security is doing? Protecting us against Dark Side downloaders? What, do they think that Bin Laden is a big Darth fan?
Then again, I wouldn't be surprised if they were the ones counting the black squirrels.
Maybe I'd better start learning the lyrics for God Save the Queen.
And maybe the DHS would be better off visiting this site.

The Homeland security group that was involved in this was ICE, or the Immigration Customs Enforcement Bureu, Which used to be the INS and Customs units until they were stuck together and put under DHS Control. But they still perform regular customs and imigration work along with border security. So the article is talking about Customs officers. And this internet stuff involves commerce comming in and out of the country. So it makes sense. Kind of. Sort of. I Guess it would be like saying DHS agents are involved in fisheries protection, because the Coast Guard is part of DHS
Who let the Republican wonk in here?
oh yeah, I did . . .
