Thank you for a fascinating (and scary) link, Gautam! If those companies think they can help the Communists sabotage the internet in China, and that it won't come back home to bite them on their collective asses, they're dreaming. Computer viruses are only one thing to worry about. Who says that those surveilance and control technologies won't be used by others? Who says that they won't be used *here* without our knowledge? Ethan Gutmann wrote (in his article): "The only practical solution to this puzzle is for the Bush administration to make Internet freedom in China a high priority." Darn straight! Bush and other western leaders. The time to take this seriously is *now.* Go Triangle Boy! Kevin Street
