CIA's Info Ops Team Hosts 3-Day Cyber Wargame

ScentCone writes "The CIA has booked some conference rooms and is working through a simulated 'digital Pearl Harbor' to see how government and industry handle a monster net attack from an imaginary future foe composed of anti-American and anti-globalization hackers. Having been accused of lacking imagination about potential terror attacks, they're using the exercise to better shape the government's roles in a variety of attack scenarios. The networking industry, it seems, is expected to always play a big part in detecting and thwarting such threats, as 9/11-scale economic disruption is a likely bad-guy objective."

    People, is the USA about to have a coup? It is one of the most common events in history. How many people in other countries expected the coup when it happened? I believe Bush will never leave office, or he will hand pick his sucessor.

    No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of President more than once.
    - AMENDMENT XXII, Passed by Congress March 21, 1947. Ratified February 27, 1951.

    There does not need to be a coup. Therein lies the problem. You see, you think this is the last term of the current president, because of that law above. However it is not. Bush was never elected to the office of the President in the first place.

    "This is it folks. Those who figured, after this election, we would be rid of George W. Bush might want to think again. They are wrong: a third term can be had. The XXII Amendment is quite clear on this. George W. Bush has only been elected to the Presidency once. His first term he was appointed, not elected. And, during his first term, he was not sitting during part of some other President's term of office."

    U.S. is the only place in the world, where the media doesn't consider exit poll numbers being different from the vote counts to reflect a fraud.

    Last 2 elections were both fraudulent.
