Which ISP gets to tell the US Military their connection is being pulled because Iraq complained about unsolicited bulk e-mail?
I'll be more interested in seeing what the military does when people start mass spamming US military addresses (doesn't every us soldier/sailor/airman have an email address? I seem to remmeber that they do for contact with relatives). It would be pretty easy for someone to pay a spammer (probably outside the US) to mail a million US military addresses with interesting stuff on US foreign policy, warcrimes regulations and zionist conspiricies. Even the URLs for a few mainstream European newspapaers' websites might be useful. Not to mention the "Anthrax in NYC, News blackout" type of chain letter spreading panic. I thought the US tried to avoid using tactics which it was more vulnerable to? This was originally why there was a ban on assassinations. ObOperational: Does anyone have a pointer to "war footing" practices? Things like gaving prepared links to News websites, reduced maintenance, rumor control and the like? BTW: New Zealand does have soldiers fighting in Afganistan and had peace keepers in East Timor so that chances of us being directly targetted (NZers were killed in a Bali bombing) are good. -- Simon Lyall. | Newsmaster | Work: simon.lyall@ihug.co.nz Senior Network/System Admin | Postmaster | Home: simon@darkmere.gen.nz ihug, Auckland, NZ | Asst Doorman | Web: http://www.darkmere.gen.nz
