A draft US Army intelligence report has identified the popular micro-blogging service Twitter, Global Positioning System maps and voice-changing software as potential terrorist tools.
The report by the 304th Military Intelligence Battalion, posted on the website of the Federation of American Scientists (FAS), examines a number of mobile and web technologies and their potential uses by militants.

Kind of a strange piece really. Do terrorists use US mail, sidewalks or cell phones? Most certainly. But the US Army has singled out twitter as something that they might use in the future. I suppose it's good that they're paying attention but what about that giant car phone thing that Bin Laden is always toting in that footage?
