My objective in these efforts for extensive coverage of specific events
is to provide a record of what is going on in terms of information
warfare.  That ranges from propaganda to technical attacks.  At times
like this, there is a great deal of propaganda, and I try to provide a
collection of it for analysis and because I find it interesting.  On the
other hand, if the list members do not want to get this, I can certainly
provide less of it.

I personally find it fascinating that after an attack such as this the
people with financial and political interests back off for a few hours
and then push themselves right back into the market.  I also find it
disconcerting that personal liberties are under threat and that these
political and financial agendas are often aided by the pain and
suffering of others.

In terms of 'holding the bag' I find the resulting collection of
information highly informative and worthy of analysis.  That's why I
keep it as a collection on my web site for others to review at their
leisure.

In terms of fearmongers, I doubt that they like much of the iwar
content.  After all, they always have to face your comments and those of
others who point out their fearmongering for what it is.
