Ah, Javilk. Our side, their side.. is it still a valid notion?
The cyberterrorist is more likely to be a homegrown "all American"
disgruntled unemployable genius than a wild-eyed foreign fanatic.
Also, I'm afraid that the government and the corporate ostriches look at
each other as "us" and "them".
We are all more likely to fall victim to the loss of freedom and privacy
of "couterterrorism" than to the terrorism itself.
