Saddam's Inbox Hacked

MotorMachineMercenar writes "Wired News is reporting that Saddam Hussein's email account (press@uruklink.net) has been hacked into. The account had a five-letter login with the same password. Messages in his inbox sent from all over the world included everything from death threats to business propositions to offers to sell him WMDs. A choice quote from the article: 'One AOL user sent Saddam a one-word message: 'Imminent.' Attached to the Aug. 6 e-mail was a photograph of an atomic mushroom cloud.' I wonder what the login was." You'd think it was "press," password "press," but if it were that obvious I think someone would have said so.

    The UK had concentrations camps long before Hitler did.

    Hitler wiped out most gypsies and a few Jews along the way. What do you normally hear about?

    Come-one Eugenics was praticed in Europe Years after the fall of Hitler.

    I'm not saing Hitler was that nice, I'm just saying you shouldn't be so anal when Bush has his finger on the button.

    It is an excellent example of two things:

    One - Corporate bastards would drain the blood from their mother, if it meant they got a stock option, or key to the executive washroom.

    Two - Corporate bastards obviously have no fscking clue about what goes on or what is even made at their own companies, and will promise anything to make a sale (see #1).

    "4G Wireless Technology? Yes, that could ignite the atmospere. Oh, you need controllable ignition? Yes! We are pioneers in that technology!"

    I'd love to know the name of that company, so I could ensure that I never do business with them.

    What's the problem? 102 A.D. is the year that Saddam Hussein and his republic lives in.

    Precisely why I find the people who are upset still about the faulty popular vote in Florida to be inanely ignorant about how their government works.

    The people don't VOTE for president. They vote to send an opinion to the electorial college. The electors are not required to vote according to the popular vote. This works nicely to legitimize a government when the elections are screwed up.
