U.S. House Says the Internet is Terrorist Threat
GayBliss writes "The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill (H.R. 1955) last month, by a vote of 404 to 6, that says the Internet is a terrorist tool and that Congress needs to develop and implement methods to combat it."
I'm sure glad we had the Firehose to filter out crap like this.
Oh, wait...

darn.
I wanted to see them get lost planning where to send the tanks on the invasion of the internet... They have to find tubes big enough for the tanks after all!
Or GWB trying to decide which of the internets to invade.

There are problems with your post:
(1) You apparently read the article. We don't "read" around here... we telepathically absorb article details from around the globe.
(2) You took time to derive logical deductions and causation factors from the ideas presented in the article. Way too much effort; your time would have been better spent trying to one-up the wild assertion that is the story headline.
(3) You implied that Congress has acted in anything less than a knee-jerk, know-knothing, insert-more-hyphenated-words-here manner. Anyone Slashdot user with half a brain knows that Congress has never produced any meaningful debate or results in all of history.
Sheesh, man... go drink some coffee and wake up, or something...

I've seen plenty of terrorist propaganda too. For example, look at the Lancet Report which claims that not only around 650 000 people have died between 2003 and 2006 in Iraq due to bringing democracy to that country, but even more hienously it claims that at least 30% of those deaths were caused by direct coalition actions. Clearly, this study only serves to destroy the morale of our troops and it should not be permitted to exist on the web.

Yeah, I made the same mistake. Now I regret waterboarding my router.
