Titolo: New Defiant Class simulation, USS Illustrious

The USS Illustrious is a new Defiant Class simulation. The Defiant Class,
known primarily for it's excellence in battle, has the mission of patrolling
the Romulan Neutral Zone in this uncertain time of possible peace with the
Romulans.
The year is 2388, Starfleet is falling back on it's old goals of exploration
and discovery. The USS Illustrious helps to further these goals as our
mission is to help watch the Federation's back as it looks towards diplomacy
and exploration.
The Illustrious is no pleasure cruise. The Defiant Class isn't a ship known
for it's comfort. For the mission of Illustrious is an important one and it
takes ones with stable minds and the willingness to live in close quarters
for it's mission to be a success.

Leading Senator Reveals Cloaking Technology Used to Hide Weapns of
Mass Destruction.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The top Republican on the Senate Armed Services
Committee (news - web sites) today revleaved that cloaking technology
was used to hide Iraqi weapons of mass destruction.  This revealation
makes it clear there is no longer any need to open another probe into
alleged White Housemanipulation of intelligence to make the case for
war againstIraq (news - web sites).
Virginia Sen. John Warner (news, bio, voting record) told NBC's "Meet
the Press" that this new information explains the failure of our
miliary forces to find the weapons after looking for them for three
months.
It also explains why the Iraqi's did not use their weapons, since the
cloaking devices make it impossible to use the weapons.  While the
technology is classified,

sheds some light on the limitations.

No, next week Bush will be on TV announcing that he indeed
lied to the American people for the sake of an imperialistic agenda
and a $3 billion contract awarded to Halliburton because "noone
else in the world has that kind of know-how."
That, of course, will only happen in the alternate universe... :-)
