9. It's not paranoia
Here's another article, from computer weekly
http://www.computerweekly.com/articles/article.asp?liArticleID=135706&liArticleTypeID=1&liCategoryID=2&liChannelID=22&liFlavourID=1&sSearch=&nPage=1

(sorry, I don't know how to shrink the URLS)
What you're saying is a legitimate fear. Cf. Patriot act. (For example, could people who are pushing for UN intevention against RUmmy w/ re Abu Ghraib be considered "enemy combatants", "terrorists"?). I am reminded of the NYT article that came out the day *after* the NYT article decrying the allegations as "internet conspiracy theory" (I've lost track of those URLS), but basically what it boiled down to was that the Pentagon is developing a NEW internet, designed for military use (wasn't this internet originally a military project).

The thought occurred to me: I might wake up one day, logon to this site, and find that it--together with everything else on the Net--has been replaced by an entirely different "cyberspace".

At any rate, it was at that point that I began making HARDCOPIES of relevant posts.
