Outsourced African wars on the brink, bloggers getting spied on, people spying back on satellites. Same old same old, n'est pas? Well, sure, if you're a Danger Room regular. If you frequent those other defense blogs, we can understand your surprise. So enter our mutant training facility for a recap.

We've got Microsoft trying to save the Army from its PowerPointed Frankenstein's monster. A different kind of Frankenstein in the Pentagon's rule of law/detention office mashup. A new Army field manual to prevent civilian casualties. A Navy yearning for super-advanced intelligence tools, and bored with what it already has. An African village that stood up to the Lord's Resistance Army by turning its FM radio transmitter into a weapon. Blackwater staffing up with AIG and KBR veterans. Russian laser jets threatening American satellites. Internet jihadis boasting about their fantasy hit lists. You're not getting this anywhere else.

We hate to leave you alone for a few days, but it's for the best. We're going to maybe see the Green Lantern movie, against all better judgment, await the Game of Thrones season finale, and be back to guard you against the gathering storm.
