Open Source Enables Terrorist States

chill writes "Where to begin? OpenBSD Journal has a couple of update articles on the business of DARPA cancelling POSSE and OpenBSD's grant. And here is a message from Theo de Raadt, the OpenBSD big cheese, with a quote from a military spokesman. How does '...due to world events and the evolving threat posed by increasingly capable nation-states...' grab you? Does open source and freely available security support terrorism by its very nature?"

"United States Secretary of State Colin Powell has said France will suffer consequences for having opposed the US over the war with Iraq."

Jesus Christ! What the hell is wrong with the GWB administration? France opposed the war with Iraq because on the grounds that there is no sufficient evidence that Iraq has not destroyed its WMDs - and now after the war, the evidence is still missing! So far France seems to have been right and these morons are still intent on "punishing" the France for trying to prevent this unjustified, unilateral war (the true motives, of course, were regime change, oil and GWB's personal issues with religion and his daddy).
