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?"
no kidding, but you've got an uphill struggle in the USA trying to convince anyone that a woman should be anything other than a stupid, sunbed-tanned, bottle-blonde, fake-breasted, collagen-lipped, lipo-sucked, sparkle-toothed, botox-riddled whore.
That was classic intercourse!
That would be Halliburton... anyone asking Dick Cheney about that these days ?
To say that Open Source helps terrorists while closed source and big business don't help them is just plain rubbish. Lets play the following game
1) Where does Bin Laden get his money from is it
a) Oil
b) Sell Red Hat
c) Oil
2) Which of the following held senior positions in organisations that were associated with terrorism or "evil" states
a) Dick Cheney
b) Donald Rumsfeld
c) George Bush Sr
Answers are
1) a or c.
2) all have held senior positions with organisations that have either supplied facilities or arms to Iraq. George Bush Sr was also involved in the Iran/Contra scandal.

Because if BSD is dead... terrorism is dead.
Props to the administration for this astute observation and logic!
