Completely off-topic, but worth your while nonetheless is a post on The Big Picture which features 14 “big pictures” of “a week-long series of anti-terrorist drills called ‘Great Wall 5′, in preparation for the upcoming 2008 Olympic Games.” The pictures include the infamous “Jinan precision Segway assault squad” featured on Imagethief, plus some additional ones all in a high definition, large format. They’re definitively worth checking out.
There are several good comments as well, including:
“policemen form a pattern of the Olympic Rings on the field, while policewomen display their fighting skills”
Now that’s how you use the element of surprise! If a terrorist sees that, they’re gonna stand there for at least 10 minutes completely dumbfounded. That should give Mr. Flamethrower enough time to cook them good. How many minutes per pound for terrorists, again?
Are we sure Segway vs Flamethrower is not a proposed Olympic event?
Barrier-cutting might be an individual competition, and the first few photos look like typical Superbowl halftime shows. A wardrobe malfunction could be fatal, though.
The best composed photograph is this one:
I knew there was something a little funny about the guy who delivers lunch to the CELB offices; turns out he’s an international terrorist now holed up with his terrorist buddies in a “safe house” in Henan Province. Nighty night international terrorist!

It would be more authentic if there was a kebab stand out front and a recorded voice asking “hashish? hashish?”
