Just because I'm paranoid...

...doesn't mean they aren't out to get bloggers. (emphasis mine)

The government concluded its "Cyber Storm" wargame Friday, its biggest-ever exercise to test how it would respond to devastating attacks over the Internet from anti-globalization activists, underground hackers and bloggers.

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.

Dudes, we're fucked. Especially if they mean the "devastating attacks" on W's fee-fees everytime some blogger calls him an idiot. I'm surprised they didn't have an element of the wargame for cartoonists too.

Booman Tribune does an 8-point "why bloggers are terrorist enemies to the government" list.

Our tax dollars at work. Damn. Can't get that Osama asshole, but mebbe we can round up some bloggers!


Just come back where I came from,
Looks the same as something's wrong.
And all my friends that used to be,
Have gone and turned their backs on me.
Everyone's got different views,
Now I'm all shook up and all confused.

East is west, left is right,
Up is down, and black is white,
Inside-out, wrong is right,
It's back to front and I'm all uptight.

I've just come back from fantasy,
Right back to reality.
Stayed away too long but now I've found,
My world is turning upside-down.
I don't fit in but I don't stand out,
I should stay cool but want to shout.

East is west, left is right,
Up is down, and black is white,
Inside-out, wrong is right,
It's back to front and I'm all uptight.

No one knows where I come from,
Who are you and what do you want?
You've thrown away all that we had,
It's down the drain, it's all gone mad.
The word is out, I've seen the sign,
So you go your way, I go mine.

East is west, left is right,
Up is down, and black is white,
Inside-out, wrong is right,
It's back to front and I'm all uptight.

East is west, left is right,
Up is down, and black is white,
Inside-out, wrong is right,
It's back to front and I'm all uptight (alright).
It's back to front and I'm all uptight (alright, alright, alright, alright).

Are you listening?
(no!)
Well then, I'll have to do it all over again!

UPDATE: And I should have referenced my earlier post of a couple of days ago, not because I am in love with what I wrote [OK, fine, call me Arthur, see if I care], but because it links to a bunch of other sources, including Born at the Crest of the Empire, which has been following the issue too.
