BillyVance 35 #2 February 3, 2010 Quote Doesn't the Senate have something better to do with their time (and our money) than this. It's easy to make declarations and accusations. Harder and damn near next to impossible to agree on anything tangible, so I guess they just went with something like that just to say they were doing something.

Butters 0 #3 February 3, 2010 Their time (and our money) would be better spent figuring out how to prevent attacks on us than condemning the hacking of Google in China according to this. QuoteThe officials, testifying before the Senate intelligence committee, also warned of increased risk of cyber-attacks in the coming months, saying that the recent China-based hacking of Google's computers was both a "wake-up call" and a forerunner to future strikes aimed at businesses or intended to cause economic disruption."That looks dangerous."

rehmwa 2 #11 February 4, 2010 I was hoping more for a sternly worded note of disapproval to be drafted. And, perhaps a request to the UN to also draft another sternly worded note of disappointment - with a threat that if the chicanery didn't stop, they'd possibly write another (after an appropriate meeting to discuss if another note should be written - with an addendum requiring the US to pay for the note writing process of course) Edit: typical cost for UN Note writing is approx - $82M ...
