Today, the ordinary Chinese citizen cannot indulge in reading the perverted online views of CNN or the Washington Post.

Not to make light of the grave situation in China, but if I had kids I would probably put a filter on CNN and the Washington Post too; these sites are worse than porn on an impressionable young mind.

The Chinese communists also place party operatives online in international chatrooms and posting boards to both deflect and propagandize communist ideology and spread disinformation. I know first hand, I have encountered them before.

The Great Firewall of China? Check out attrition.org for results of last April's hacker war following the P-3 incident. (As a wonderous side benefit it also contains the most marvelously politically incorrect parodies of the MasterCard "Priceless" ads.) And the dum phuques still haven't learned that much. A couple of their semi-officially sanctioned hacker groups announced a similar attack yesterday. Every 15 year old (or older) script-kiddie on the planet (not to mention serious hackers) is suffering from uncontrollable drooling over another challenge to take their entire IT structure apart. "Yes, Grasshopper, I boned your server."

I mean really -- would you be acting uppity when teenaged nerds from Portugal, Argentina, and Saudi Arabia had helped turn your entire national IT infrastructure into bathroom graffiti?
