Ashcroft Accused Of 'Global Internet Power Grab' Thu Nov 29 2001 10:14:02 ET BUSINESS WEEK reported under the headline, "Ashcroft's Global Internet Power-Grab," that a "new law lets the Justice Department go after foreign hackers, even if U.S. computers weren't a target," and asks whether the US should be the global cyber police. In fresh editions, BUSINESS WEEK added: "An amendment to the definition of a 'protected computer' for the first time explicitly enables U.S. law enforcement to prosecute computer hackers outside the United States in cases where neither the hackers nor their victims are in the U.S., provided only that packets related to that activity traveled through U.S. computers or routers. Bacchus, are the majority of the mainframes housing the internet still in the US? If so, maybe that's why Ashcroft feels he can be the cyber policeman to the world! In other words, if you all don't comply, we will pull the plug. <g> ted
