Anti-globalization activists, underground hackers and bloggers.. WTF???

[IDemo]

These three categories appear to be the latest breed of terrier threatening the Prezisn't's maladministration. I guess a stretch of definitions may mean DU'ers are included as 'bloggers'.

"Participants confirmed parts of the worldwide simulation challenged government officials and industry executives to respond to deliberate misinformation campaigns and activist calls by Internet bloggers, online diarists whose "Web logs" include political rantings and musings about current events."

So now our government is conducting studies to measure online "political rantings and musings about current events"? Huh? Wouldn't these 'rants and musings' be included under the category of "free speech", and be protected as such under the document known as "The Constitution"?

8. Anti-globalization activists, meaning anti-Bushistas?

Am I mistaken, or wasn't "anti-globalization" a central theme of conservatives only a few decades ago? Have the Bildebergers been drummed out in favor of Kellog, Brown, and Root?

9. Well, two out of three ain't bad.

I protest (1) and I blog (2) but I'm not an "underground hacker."

As an information security consultant I've been hired to hack by some pretty interesting institutions to test and then secure their networks.

Do I get a cancellation credit for one "Enemy's List" catagory?

Or to I get hit with a multiplier?

Hi, Agent Mike...you know my IP address already, and you may have my business card.

Just call before you drop by. That way I can put the kettle on, and leave a message on a friend's answering maching saying, "I'm going for a little vacation. Hope to see you after the rendition."
