Just the Files, Ma'am

Here's another one for the "totally cool" file.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The CIA is conducting a secretive war game, dubbed "Silent Horizon," this week to practice defending against an electronic assault on the same scale as the September 11 terrorism attacks.

The three-day exercise, ending Thursday, was meant to test the ability of government and industry to respond to escalating Internet disruptions over many months, according to participants. They spoke on condition of anonymity because the CIA asked them not to disclose details of the sensitive exercise taking place in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Hopefully the CIA won't get wrapped around the pole on "cyberterrorism" like that stooge Richard Clarke did. Yes, online "terrorism" is something to be on the alert for, but I'm far more worried about lunatics with car bombs and suicide vests/belts. Priorities, priorities, priorities.
