Links are my choice, but do not necessarily reflect my opinion. I often link to articles, sites and blogs with which I disagree. I try to look at all sides, but the fact that I'm human makes it impossible for me to view anything completely objectively. |
20 November, 2001: "Psyching them out."By Kathy Kinsley I've read several weblog comments on the Daily Rotten story about some papers the Taliban left behind when fleeing Kabul. It seems that one of the papers was a "reprint of a scientific parody called "How to Build an Atom Bomb" from a humor newsletter called The Annals of Improbable Research (AIR)." This gave me a couple of interesting ideas. Why don't we get a lot of people to make fake terrorist websites, with this sort of disinformation -- in Arabic, just to make it easy for them. Might be fun! Alternately, we could start rumors that all the information of that sort on the Internet is fake.
