Heh, and replace oil with 9/11 and you get almost half the hits. Too bad 9/11 has been relegated to one thread here on P.O. but it's your site to do with as you please. On the other had I want to thank you for creating one of the most intelligent forums on the net.
So I just think 9/11 will affect us more than we care to admit, perhaps more than peak oil itself in the near future! And with our new supreme leaders drooling over the next 9/11, preparing us through propaganda disseminated through the main stream media, I leave you all with this tidbit...

They never have to necessarily go to [a CIA-ISI created] training camp or speak with anybody else and that diffusion of a combination of hatred and technical skills in things like bomb-making is a dangerous combination,” Chertoff said. “Those are the kind of terrorists that we may not be able to detect with spies and satellites.”
In order to combat these supposed miscreants, the Ministry will “deploy 20 field agents this fiscal year into ‘intelligence fusion centers,’ where they [will] work with local police agencies.” So-called “fusion centers” are “collaborative efforts to combine and analyze anti-terrorism information from multiple sources” and “have becoming increasingly popular as part of homeland security,” writes Alice Lipowicz for the IT website, Washington Technology. “A number of states, including Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts and New York, currently operate so-called fusion centers, and many more states, such as Missouri, are considering doing so” and are designed to share “information in the criminal justice community,” although “[c]ivil libertarians have been critical of the fusion centers because they fear a lack of government accountability about protecting privacy and civil rights in the centers’ operation, especially with regard to use of personal data and use of surveillance images,” an obvious concern in light of the massive NSA snoop program.
And on that note I'm out. With summer here I need to get back to the vege garden and log cabin which are miles away from the great internets, it's gonna be a hot one! Good luck to you all and don't forget to include the possibility of martial law in your peak oil plans!
