US Military Uses Spam, Internet Explorer
chundo writes "CNN reports that the United States government has been secretly encouraging the defection of senior Iraqi officials via email. Iraq is responding by shutting down some of their internet gateways to prevent these emails from getting through, forcing the US to find alternate means to deliver the message. Maybe they should have enlisted this guy - emails from him keep showing up in my inbox no matter what I do." This story about the growing military network bandwidth crunch shows the U.S. military trying hard to get every soldier online, all the time.
...I'm gonna burn Karma for this one for SURE.
No you won't. Not with the infamous American arrogance dominating slashdot.
The muslims are already having hard time in the States, you think this idiotic and wrong stereotype will help that situtation? Oh sorry, you don't care. My general impression is an American would not care for the well being of another human as long as that person is not American and looks/thinks like him.

It's just a provocation strategy. They're trying
desperately to get the Baath government to do
*something* that can be used as a pretext for a
massive bombing campaign and ground invasion.
If UNMOVIC were to take interviewees to Cyprus
and then not return them to Iraq, it would be
seen for what it is, a U.S. spy agency, and
Hussein might conceivably (yeah, right -- he's
not *that* stupid) slow down his cooperation,
which to this point has been obsequiously
total, and thereby provide the required pretext.
All of this is driven by the Zionist/Oil faction
now in control of U.S. foreign policy: Cheney,
Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Perle. I think that they
are likely to fail in their efforts this time,
though. If I didn't believe that, I'd be morally
obligated to send them to their judgement, so I'll
stick to that view as long as I can.
