A The Daily Reflector, Sunday, October 9, 2011 WASHINGTON Virus infects Air Force drones A computer virus that captures the strokes on a keyboard has infected net- works used by pilots who control U.S. Air Force drones flown on the warfront, ac- cording to a published report. Wired magazine reported Friday that the spyware has resisted efforts to remove it from the computers in the cockpits at Creech Air Force Base in Nevada, where pilots remotely fly Predator and Reaper drones in places like Iraq and Afghani- stan. The story said there are no confirmed reports that classified data was stolen and that the virus did not stop pilots from fly- ing any of their missions. Network security specialists are uncer- tain if the virus was part of a directed at- tack or accidentally infected the networks, the story said.

Romney, in remarks to the Values Voters Summit, a gathering of cultural con- servatives in Washington, did not directly confront the words of a prominent Perry supporter who called Romney’s Mormon faith a “cult.” Indeed, he was criticiz- ing another speaker at the meeting who is known for anti-Mormon and anti- Muslim rhetoric, and who followed him on stage. But his cautionary words served as notice that at- tacks on faiths should, in his view, be off the table. He appealed to the social conservatives to support a presidential candidate who has the best record on the economy. Perry planned a day of campaigning in religiously conservative northwest Iowa. On Friday, the Texas governor answered sim- ply “no” when asked if he thought Mormonism was a cult. But that did not appear likely to be the last word on the subject.

He called the pastor’s re- marks “bigotry.” Romney acknowledged Bennett’s comments as soon as he took the stage. “Speaking of hitting it out of the park, how about that Bill Bennett!” In urging conservatives to avoid poisonous rheto- ric, Romney was referring specifically to “one of the speakers who will follow me today” — a figure who he said “has crossed that line.” That was Bryan Fischer, an American Family Asso- ciation official who spoke after Romney.

WASHINGTON — Re-publican presidential hope-ful Mitt Romney told social conservatives Saturday “poisonous language has never advanced our cause” as both he and rival Rick Perry grappled with a flare-up over religion.
Romney, in remarks to the Values Voters Summit, a gathering of cultural con-servatives in Washington, did not directly confront the words of a prominent Perry supporter who called Romney’s Mormon faith a “cult.”
Indeed, he was criticiz-ing another speaker at the meeting who is known for anti-Mormon and anti-Muslim rhetoric, and who followed him on stage.
But his cautionary words served as notice that at-tacks on faiths should, in
his view, be off the table. He appealed to the social conservatives to support a presidential candidate who has the best record on the economy.
Perry planned a day of campaigning in religiously conservative northwest Iowa. On Friday, the Texas governor answered sim-ply “no” when asked if he
thought Mormonism was a cult.
But that did not appear likely to be the last word on the subject.
Earlier in the day, Dal-las pastor Robert Jeffress branded Mormonism a cult and said Romney is “a good moral person, but he’s not a Christian,” in re-marks introducing Perry to a crowd.
Perry accepted the intro-duction by saying Jeffress “hit it out of the park.”
Before Romney’s ad-dress in Washington on Saturday, former Reagan administration official Bill Bennett sharply criticized Jeffress.
“You did Rick Perry no good, sir, in what you had to say,” Bennett told the crowd.
He called the pastor’s re-marks “bigotry.”
Romney acknowledged Bennett’s comments as
soon as he took the stage. “Speaking of hitting it out of the park, how about that Bill Bennett!”
In urging conservatives to avoid poisonous rheto-ric, Romney was referring specifically to “one of the
speakers who will follow me today” — a figure who he said “has crossed that line.”
That was Bryan Fischer, an American Family Asso-ciation official who spoke after Romney.
