Rising Domestic Terr |
|
| Americans are under siege by terrorists right now, but the primary source of the problem is not al Qaeda or any other foreign terrorist organization. The threat stems from home-grown activist groups with names like: the Animal Liberation Front, the Earth Liberation Front, and Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty. And it��셲 not just left-wing radicals who are causing the problems. Domestic terror threats include bombings by right-wing terrorists such as Timothy McVeigh and abortion clinic bomber Eric Rudolph. |

From Here to Immorta |
|
| Until recently, only a tiny fraction of Americans reached their 100th birthdays. Yet, with technologies available today or already in the pipeline, this number has already begun to increase dramatically. For example, in 1990, there were 37,306 Americans who were at least 100 years old. By the year 2010, there will be 131,000. And, by 2050, projections by the U.S. Census Bureau anticipate there being 834,000 centenarians. |

To Tell the Truth |
|
| The device that is widely used to detect lies today, the polygraph, is simply too unreliable. It is too inaccurate for the results to be admissible in court cases. A 2002 report by the National Research Council concluded that the polygraph can��셳 distinguish innocent people from guilty ones. In response, the U.S. Department of Energy began relying less on the use of the polygraph to conduct security checks on its employees. |
