"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? ----------------------Kaos-Keraunos-Kybernetos--------------------------- + ^ + :Surveillance cameras|Passwords are like underwear.
