Noah's in Iraq and Sharon's on the road, leaving Davids Axe and Hambling minding the shop this week. And how does the Danger Room crowd feel about it? Judging from the feedback, feelings are mixed. Let's review:

** Most popular post: "Geeks Spot Fossett" -- Using satellite imagers and an online database, 'net users worldwide are helping search for missing aviation adventurer Steve Fossett. *

* Most indignant corporate reply: "Lockheed's Wacky Lawsuit" -- Lockheed official takes offense.

** Theme of the week: Thermobarics, courtesy of Hambling. Here, *here, here and here. Who knew fuel-air bombs were so hot?

* Accusations that Danger Room has gotten too political: At least six. Examples here, here and here.

*__* References to Great Britain's propagandistic surveillance state: __Two. "Big Brother Spots Energy Wasters" and "Lessons of War Disputed" *

* Least popular post: "Oh Frak! Ebola Outbreak!" -- It's a flesh-eating virus, people! C'mon, get excited!
