Bin Laden can attack us without launching/detonating/plane crashing

I just read an article that says a cyber-attack can shut down our national power grid and (this is more scary) make the entire Pacific armed forces useless. As in, the dispatchers won't have power or radio signals or anything to give the word out to attack stuff.

Actually, according to that article, it was relatively easy for the ones employed in that test.

Anaconda-Afghanistan has trouble with paved roads, let alone computers. Don't even start with the "hidden in caves" stuff either, that's all speculation.

Yeah, I highly doubt Afghanistan has powerful enough computers or skilled enough hackers to do that.

I like this joke from Jay Leno....

Today in Afganistan they saw TV for the first time in several years. They were able to watch their favorite show...The Flinstones, but they call it something different. They call it The Jetsons.


You kids might be too young to get it, but I thought it was hilarious.

There is so many ways Bin Ladin can attack us thats its impossible to predict or protect us from all of them. Christmas is coming and anything can happen. Lets just hope that the US government finds a way to stop Bin Ladin before to develops his own disaster of a Christmas present of his own.
