Nice....

"A well-planned and well-executed cyberattack on America wouldn't just
mean the temporary loss of e-mail and instant messaging," said
Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y. "Terrorists could gain access to the digital
controls for the nation's utilities, power grids, air traffic control
systems and nuclear power plants."

So either Schumer is smoking crack or he knows something.  If he "knows
something" then those in charge of our nation's utilities, power grids,
ATC, and nuke plans" are complete morons for placing the "digital
controls" on their web sites.


I especially love this line...

"We reserve the right to respond in any way appropriate: through covert
action, through military action, any one of the tools available to the
president," Richard Clarke said at a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing
on cyberterrorism.

So, some dork in China runs an nmap of www.fbi.gov, and off we go nuking
China...  Gee, who decides what's appropriate?


So far we've had the "linking" of the drug war to the terrorists, just to
feed one horseman off the other's droppings, now we seem to be adding
"cyber" to the list of horesmen...

And from the smell of it Bush is looking for yet another war to start...
Gee, from ape like dolt to warmonger, in what, one year?
