14 December 2004
Washington Post reports on a jailhouse memoir by Indonesian terrorist Imam Samudra, responsible for the Bali bombing two years ago. Although there are only 4,000 copies in print, the Post hypes a chapter titled "Hacking, Why Not?" as indicative of a scary new front in the -- what to call the conflict rippling across the globe for a thousand different reasons? Let's just say a scary new front. But if this elementary, Indonesian small press book is the worst the terrorists can bring, maybe it's not so bad. Or maybe it is -- what if terrorists are reading the millions of copies of American books that teach hacking? What if? A question WaPo doesn't bother with.
