Nobel peace laureate Jose Ramos-Horta threatened to launch a full-scale
cyberwar in 1999 if Indonesia meddled with East Timor's independence ballot.
He claimed "more than 100 computer wizards" under his command would
annihilate Indonesia's gov't/military command & control, their banking
industry, and their aviation industry.

After the vote, world news outlets reported only a "slaughter" when
"hundreds of pro-Jakarta militia took control of the East Timor capital,
sealing off roads, torching houses and laying siege to the main United
Nations compound."  But no hint of a horrifying cyber-war, thank God!  Just
your everyday death, destruction, oppression, U.N. impotence, deportation of
reporters, etc.

I'll admit Ramos-Horta couldn't have destroyed Indonesia in 1999.  But be
warned: the state of the art has advanced since the previous millennium --
and Osama bin Laden has more money than Ramos-Horta.  One well-placed
insider near Washington, DC insists Al Qaeda can make passenger trains
collide and can make oil refineries explode with just two clicks of a mouse.

Americans must stand ready to upgrade their antivirus software the instant
Reuters sounds the alarm.
