The government concluded its "Cyber Storm" wargame Friday, its biggest-ever exercise to test how it would respond to devastating attacks over the Internet from anti-globalization activists, underground hackers and bloggers.Yeah. Bloggers?
Bloggers?
(For that matter: Antiglobalization activists? When did they ever do anything, beyond mounting an argument the Bush administration does not want people to heed?)
News of this exercise should be read in conjunction with the Justice Department's internet spying schemes, as chronicled in the post directly below this one -- as well as the NSA's spying and the ongoing efforts to curb net neutrality. A zeal to catch pedophiles is not what motivates Gonzales to snatch up every damn email and instant message you send out. What bothers this administration is...this. Right here. They want to end the ongoing discussion between thousands of bloggers and millions of readers.
They hate us for our freedoms.
(P.S. McAfee participated in Cyber Storm. If you use their anti-virus product, consider switching. You are protected just as well if you combine freeware solutions.)
