"President Saakashvili, is it true the president of Poland agreed to host your website until the cyberattacks subside?"]]></description>

In a <em>cyber</em>-war, a coworker shouts "John Markoff's story just went online, everyone click on the links!"  And why don't we hear stories about, who knows, maybe <em>Georgia's victorious counter-thrust</em> into Russian IP space where they dropped a <em>Google-bomb</em> on the .ru&#160;TLD, or something like that...?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Do you realize the incredible <strong>gullibility exploit</strong> here?  A hostile military could develop a PowerPoint slideshow, mail it to hysterical USAF personnel, and say "please give this widest possible dissemination."  Even if a gullible flyboy finds out he got duped by an enemy military, history predicts he won't send out an email to retract the slideshow ... because it would embarrass him too much to admit "the enemy exploited my hysteria in an official capacity"...]]></description>
