:: NEWS COCKTAIL aka BlahBlahBlog ::
"Everything is being compressed into tiny tablets. You take a little pill of news every day - 23 minutes - and that's supposed to be enough." -Walter Cronkite, RE TV news. The Web has changed that for many, however, and here is an extra dose for your daily news cocktail. This prescription tends to include surveillance and now war-related links, along with the occasional pop culture junk and whatever else seizes my attention as I scan online news sites.:: 3.21.2003 ::

The War Seizes the Internet
America, like no other country that ever waged a war, demonstrated to the whole of the world that wars begin not in Iraqi sands or in the Persian Gulf, not in Munich pubs or in Afghani mountains. Wars originate in the human minds and end there. And in the course of a war, the key battles go on paper, and now they are carried out certainly in the cyber space. And in this situation, neither a silly, cruel and painfully stubborn president, nor officials with their unnatural patriotism, nobody will be able to pass this Pyrrhic victory for triumph of democracy. And no American censorship, although it is considered to be the most refined in the world, no information and other kinds of prohibitions can be effective on the net.
