    considering that intelligence can't even tell a Chinese embassy from a
    warehouse or where senior leadership is having a meeting, how do they expect
    to hit a bunch of teenage script kiddies (or heavens forbid, REAL crackers)
    coordinating an attack via IRC?

    Going from the premptive strike philosophy demonstrated in Mideastern
    countries, what are your thoughts on a military strike against (as yet
    unseen) "cyberterrorists" a'la
    http://www.msnbc.com/news/985295.asp?0si=- if there were extranational
    agents tampering with identified components of the infrastructure to
    the extent that they were risking human life?
