Growing Commercialization Threatens Net Security

dr3vil writes "The BBC is reporting that the concentration of the net's backbone in fewer hands has made it more vulnerable to attack. The report compares an attack to travel problems when traffic is disrupted at O'Hare. Hopefully someone in a position to act will pay attention."

    By that logic, if we stop referencing 9/11 then the terrorists have already won, and if they've already won then they'll stop attacking us, right?

    If all this should have a reason, we would be the last to know.

    But if we let them win by discontinuing references to Sept 11, then what reason will the government have to strip us of our rights and extend a fist over the world?

    I saw a 'flamebait' mod next to your post.

    Better remember not to complain about those profiteering sons of bitches using 9/11 for profit. Thousands of people are MURDERED, and the response is PROFITTERING by the bbc and other companies!

    If I had mod points, I'd give 'em to you at the moment.
