If one is to believe old Ben is part of the thought police,then yes, I've been brainwashed:
"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

I agree with Jim, somehow, someway, this cyber-terrorism stuff will be used as an excuse by the Beltway gang to regulate the internet. The bureaucrats have been scratching their heads for years to try and figure a way to regulate and tax the hell out of it...now they've got their proverbial Trojan horse.

You know, there is a thing being pushed by this adminsitration right now to stop or slow political discourse on the Internet. Think this whole thing could be an effort to
a) get Reno more money & power
b) stop any that speak out against Clinton or Gore?
Folks here are right, the government does have some of the best hackers!
