...Columbine tapes gave me chills, but not for the politically correct reasons [SPECIAL REPORT, Dec. 20]. You see, that was me at 17. I was like those kids on the tapes. I hated everybody at school; I was an outcast loner who mostly stayed home and listened to gangsta rap. I wanted to kill the school leaders, the "members," everybody who had screwed me. My plans for mass murder never got beyond the fantasy stage, but under the right circumstances, they could have gone as far as Columbine. How can we stop kids who will kill?

Silly me, I thought I was among hundreds of thousands of people in El Paso and Juarez who work every day at responsible jobs, earn honest dollars, come home to drug-free families, volunteer in the community, give to charity and aren't involved in criminal activity.

...report from the General Accounting Office details a rucksack full of problems: the $62,000 backpacks stopped soldiers from lifting their heads while on their bellies. When they rolled over, the packs lifted them far above the ground, pawing the air in what is known, in military parlance, as the "turtle-on-its-shell effect." After that was fixed, key components--radios, helmet display and computer--let water in and electronic radiation out. The batteries lasted for less than five of the required 12 hours' continuous use. And the Army doesn't know how to get new batteries...
