An anonymous reader writes "eWeek reports:The Cyber Warning Information Network, a key part of the Bush administration's National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace, will use a secure, private IP network separate from the public Internet, according to officials. The government currently has seven nodes running, said Marcus Sachs, director of communications infrastructure protection at the Office of Cyberspace Security, in Washington."

    When THIS administration (tm) will be informed that the Fednet is working, all US providers (Aol included) will have to switch on this network!

    Don't be fooled! If we let THIS administration (tm) continue the way it does, United States of America couldn't be called a democracy anymore (that's what a lot of people in US and in Europe already think)
