But anyone with a connection, hackers in China and Russia or 'secret agents[?]' in the UK are doing the same to us. There's nothing stopping our 'friends' from keeping an eye on us too, as it happened officially last year during Cyber Storm. But I found it really funny that the US carried out the 'international' exersize without China or Russia. Only "Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom" were co members (http://www.dhs.gov/xnews/releases/press_release_0863.shtm). As for terrorist activity visibly on the net? I don't think the 'bad guys' need their own site; they can do what they do and Al Jazeera will put it on their site (english.aljazeera.net). Actually I didn't know that the Supreme Court is releasing a US citizen into the hands of an Iraqi court to be hung for being involved with taking a group of Romanian journalists hostage. For some reason, after reading that story an hour ago, I can't find it anywhere on the site again. How strange! What to tell your friends? Have they really seen what looks like terrorists talking? Just as the US government doesn't, I doubt the people they are talking about use public forums to discuss plans.
