Woodward on Bush neglect of al Qaeda threat.
Joe Conason cites today in Salon excerpt from Woodward’s Bush at War that indicates that the CIA briefed incoming Bush administration in detail on the al Qaeda threat, Clinton plans to deal with it, and need for action and the Bush-Cheney gang did NOTHING to prevent this.

Al Qaeda may attack Internet, stock exchanges
Bakri, spokesman for Osama bin Laden’s International Islamic Front for Jihad Against Jews and Crusaders, said all types of technology, including the Internet, are being studied for use against the West. “In a matter of time you will see attacks on the stock market,” he said, referring specifically to the markets in New York, London and Tokyo.
His comments represent the first time that a high-profile radical Muslim cleric with known links to bin Laden has spoken publicly about the use of cybertactics for offensive purposes.
<US experts> warned of potentially dire consequences for any nation that knowingly allows such an attack to be launched from systems and networks within its borders. “Any country that allows its territory to be used for a massive Internet attack on the U.S. may want to think twice of the likely consequences,” he said. <Hmmm, internet attacks can be launched from anywhere with vulnerable sites being used as staging areas. Just because an attack comes from servers in a country doesn’t mean that’s where it originated from>
One hacker who goes by the handle “Melhacker” is thought to be responsible for the Nedal worm (”Laden” spelled backwards). Analysis of the worm conducted by iDefense found that it contained encrypted code and numerous Muslim names whose significance is unclear, as well as at least one and possibly two references to al-Qaeda.
Melhacker is also reportedly working on a new mega-worm that has been referred to as a “3-in-one.” <combining> features of SirCam, Klez and Nimda and will be named Scezda. <This is NOT good news>

Tombstone paper calls for militias against migrants
Cochise County’s “official newspaper” has issued a call to arms and is spearheading the formation of a local militia to combat illegal immigration.
Tucson human rights activist Isabel Garcia said the Tombstone Tumbleweed’s rhetoric is the latest manifestation of a militant vigilantism that has long existed in Cochise County with the acceptance and encouragement of local officials.
She said Cochise County Sheriff Larry Dever’s public friendship with groups like Glenn Spencer’s American Patrol, the sheriff’s lack of investigation into Roger and Don Barnett’s armed detention of illegal entrants and the clear unwillingness on the part of Cochise County Attorney Chris Roll to investigate and prosecute the two brothers have given them credibility and encouraged groups like Texas-based Ranch Rescue and the new Tombstone Militia.
