Circumcision no longer acid test to identify Indian spies - India - The Times of India
From the article: "In the past, jubilant Pakistani authorities have announced that foreign (read Indian) agents were involved in explosions and attacks in the restive Swat region based on examination of the corpses of the killed attackers. But the 'acid test' cops and officials used to determine whether any of the dead ones was Indian was to check whether the man had been circumcised. If not, they would summarily dub him Hindu and therefore an Indian agent." Turns out this "acid test" is not reliable, as there are Muslim tribesmen from remote areas who do not typically circumcise male children.

From the Army Times -- the first ever active-unit assignment to the US Army Northern Command. A brigade combat team will be deployed to Georgia (under a command in Colorado Springs) presumably as part of a permanent domestic mission. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but this is just ever-so-slightly unnerving.
