Re: Bin Laden Associate Warns of Cyberattack
Hrmm... Al-Quaida is the one selling FUD all over America ? I can't decide if it is actually Al Quaida, the current Political Regime, or simply newspaper reporters "making the news" with a common modus aperandi. (FUD) Remember, "Great stories don't happen, reporters -make- great stories!" :* The only thing bothering me is it -all- still reeks of yelling "fire" in a crowded movie theatre..... ...and then passing corresponding legislation. To Paraphrase the -OLD- KGB: "Quick Comrade, we will protect you, sign here.... What ? You want to be Safe, Comrade, don't you ?" s/Comrade/Citizen/ I repeat my earlier post: "FUD is an inappropriate way to manage a Nation." * shrug * On a side note: How many people knew the moment that the President said: "There can -=only=- be ONE outcome..." He was going to eat his words ? It is sort of like a consultant saying: "All you have to do is....." :( You just -know- your in for it.... ;) .Richard. ========= "Only Criminals don't want to be Monitored" - Nazi Youth Slogan. In America we believe in psychics... After all, someone had enough premonition to name legal due process... "Habeas Corpus"... "Corpus", proved to be an example of one. :P And a Rep from my Old Stomping Grounds: http://www.lewrockwell.com/paul/paul41.html router> conf t router# Abbie Hoffman (cr) router> who ? router> ^z Nixon was right, he always said eventually history would prove him out: Watergate is LEGAL! <I am going offline, Susan, promise, bye!> * S * sgorman1@gmu.edu wrote:
It is a great example of how well Al-Quedah manipulates the media. There are more ways to wreak havoc than script kiddies and DOS attacks.

"There are millions of Muslims around the world involved in hacking the Pentagon and Israeli government sites," said Bakri." I wonder how they could tell amongst all the millions of script kiddieztrying the same thing?

Naive :) They didn't have to ask to sign anything - you had to, to get a better job, education, etc. Not that those signatures meant anything, as they could just issue an invitation which you couldn't refuse. --vadim
I am still floored by the fact the doors in soviet-era buildings open into the apartments so they can be kicked in ... even more shocking is that i think i learned that on nanog! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vadim Antonov" <avg@exigengroup.com> To: "Richard Irving" <rirving@onecall.net> Cc: <nanog@merit.edu> Sent: Tuesday, November 19, 2002 4:59 PM Subject: Re: Bin Laden Associate Warns of Cyberattack

Yes, I remember all too well, Vadim... We called that "McCarthyism", here in America... (Strange, I just had an attack of DejaVu, I wonder why ? ;) However, I have to rev limit my political posts, Vadim... This is NANOG, and politics -are- off charter, as I was recently reminded.... (Article 6 of the Charter) ....apparently , even if it involves the internet. So, alas, I must restrain myself, and drop political elements to "back channel" chatter..... However, thank you for your reminder..... "Those who fail to learn from History are Doomed to repeat it!" :\ .Richard.
