 The American Spectator
There is a name for these counterterror operations: "Operation Kratos." Kratos, the Greek god of strength, supervised the chaining of the Titan Prometheus to a mountain as punishment for his transgression of teaching mortals the secret of fire.
The principle is the same, on a larger scale: by hardening the target to the point with jets and missiles so that a suicide attack will kill the terrorist pilot before he can crash his plane, the jihadist must look elsewhere to expend his single life in a valuable way.
Unfortunately the D.C. air defense, like Operation Kratos, runs the risk of a tragic mistake if an innocent civilian plane should stray over D.C. Still, the logic is sound, and the rule is necessary, even though the notion of a shoot-to-kill policy is abhorrent to Anglo-American notions of due process.

 BijbelArchief - 1139 Artikel(en)
Operation science is the domain for theories 'concerned with the recurring phenomena of nature,' against which such theories can be tested.
This approach is fine if one is dealing with operation science, but Finlay is specifically referring to theories (e.g., the origin of life) that belong to origin science.
Since the general theory of evolution focuses on past singularities that are not repeatable (e.g., the origin of life and man), it lies outside the domain of operation science and within the domain of origin science (which is concerned with efficient causes).

 McCann and Others v United Kingdom
The aim of the operation was to effect the lawful arrest of the three terrorists and it was for this purpose that the assistance of the military was sought and given.
The three deceased were an IRA active service unit which was planning an operation in Gibraltar; they did have in their control a large quantity of explosives which were subsequently found in Spain; and the nature of the operation was a car bomb.
The intelligence assessments made in the course of the operation were reasonable ones to make in the light of the inevitably limited amount of information available to the authorities and the potentially devastating consequences of underestimating the terrorists’ abilities and resources.

 Masada, by Klara Palotai
The men in Masada had no illusion about what would happen to them if they were taken alive; they knew that after the fall of Jerusalem the women and the children were enslaved and some 2500 of the men were burnt alive or killed in the arena by wild beasts or gladiators.
According to Josephus Flavius’ History of the Jewish War (the only source of the event) the last survivors of the defenders of Masada, three hundred in number, killed their wives and children and then killed each other, the last man committing suicide, just before the Romans delivered their final assault.
The writings of Josephus Flavius inspired many academic debates and various answers were given to the major question how credible he is and in what aspects of his accounts could be trusted.

The ink would seep down into those areas of the skull which were fractured, the end result being similar to a modern-day radiograph which would then permit the surgeon to see the full extent of the fracture before the surgical procedure was performed.
Along with trephination, medical historians have noted that Byzantine physicians were able to perform over 120 operations, including several complicated invasive surgical procedures, such as mastectomy, operations for hernias, tumors, removal of bladder stones and embyrotomy, all of  which attest to the skill of  ancient medical  practitioners (Bliquez 1981).
Reading the ancient literature, particularly Josephus Flavius, would lead one to believe that interpersonal violence was endemic in the region, whereas the osteoarchaeological record shows scant evidence of its actual occurrence.

North's field of operations vastly expanded when fellow Annapolis graduates Robert McFarlane followed Haig's lead to become NSA after William Clark, Allen's replacement, left, and John Poindexter worked up its ranks from military aide, as Haig had, to become his assistant.
Operation Brave Defender was carried out, a rehearsal apparently of WWIII where Spetsnaz forces overwhelmed everything NATO was capable of, giving the myth of Soviet invincibility a boost.
Fortunately, though, the operations North had arranged went no further, thanks particularly to the spying by Ames and Hanssen for the Soviets which tipped them off about the timing of Palme's assassination, thanks to Oleg Gordievsky's briefing of the former in February, and there is no need now to follow the whole shabby story.

Josephus, much to his disgust, found that all except himself and one other man were resolved to kill themselves, so as not to fall into the hands of their conquerors.
Fearing to show his opposition too openly he consented, but declared that the operation must be carried out in an orderly way, and suggested that they should arrange themselves round a circle and that every third person should be killed until but one man was left, who must then commit suicide.
It is alleged that he placed himself and the other man in the 31st and 16th place respectively.

This is critical, as the mode of operation can determine how secure the algorithm implementation renders itself to be.
They can't spell, substantiate algorithm selections, denote the mode of operation, denote the existence of a MAC, claim to offer a "real-random number generator", and promote the implementation of ad hoc, homegrown algorithms - be worried.
