Today in the News:
– The cardinals are deadlocked over the next pope
– U.S. Steps Up Alarm Over Cyberattacks
– Cannibal cop guilty, facing life in prison
Cardinals in secret conclave failed twice on Wednesday morning to elect a new pope, as black smoke over the Sistine Chapel showed ballots on the first full day of voting were inconclusive. The 115 electors are shut off in the Sistine Chapel and a nearby residence until two-thirds agree on a leader for the world’s 1.2bn Catholics. Further votes will be held this afternoon. The cardinals will vote four times daily until a single candidate garners a two-thirds majority. A successful vote would immediately be followed by white smoke and, soon afterwards, the Latin announcement “Habemus Papam” – we have a Pope…and hopefully it will be a young stud of 60 years old and according to St. Malachy the new Pope should be called Peter. So let’s see! Even Rodman is in Rome for betting site, to back Cardinal Peter Turkson of Ghana.
The nation’s top spies warned Tuesday of the rising threat of cyberattacks to national and economic security, comparing the concern more directly than before to the dangers posed by global terrorism. U.S. intelligence officials told a Senate hearing that the nation is vulnerable to cyberespionage, cybercrime and outright destruction of computer networks, both from sophisticated, government-sponsored assault as well as criminal hacker groups and cyberterrorists. According to the annual assessment, Cyberattacks from “less advanced but highly motivated actors” could do great harm because of impacts on computer networks connected to the one under attack, the assessment concluded. U.S. intelligence has picked up indications that terrorists, too, are weighing cyberattacks.
Jurors convicted cannibal cop Gilberto Valle yesterday because they were convinced he would actually kidnap, rape, cook and eat his wife and other women — rejecting the defense that it was all just fantasy. The former NYPD cop faces a maximum of life in prison, thanks in large part to his wife, Kathleen Mangan-Valle, who tearfully testified about discovering his sickening online obsession. Valle also was convicted of using a law-enforcement resource to stalk his would-be victims. Thank you for putting this man behind bars dear jury.
