Dismantling of Saudi-CIA Web site illustrates need for clearer cyberwar policies
By Ellen Nakashima – Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, March 19, 2010

By early 2008, top U.S. military officials had become convinced that extremists planning attacks on American forces in Iraq were making use of a Web site set up by the Saudi government and the CIA to uncover terrorist plots in the kingdom.

“We knew we were going to be forced to shut this thing down,” recalled one former civilian official, describing tense internal discussions in which military commanders argued that the site was putting Americans at risk. “CIA resented that,” the former official said.

In the Search Engine Optimization universe, there is a phrase for grabbing quick and easy victories, Low Hanging Fruit.  There is a theory that targeting only these rapid results may yield positive and more widespread results.

The misconception of some is that low hanging fruit is not worthwhile.  Sure, in the fruit picking world low-hanging fruit may need to be left alone to properly ripen and so forth, but in the digital concept of this phrase, an apple is an apple.

Google has drawn up detailed plans for the closure of its Chinese search engine and is now “99.9 per cent” certain to go ahead as talks over censorship with the Chinese authorities have reached an apparent impasse, according to a person familiar with the company’s thinking.

In a hardening of positions on both sides, the Chinese government also on Friday threw down a direct public challenge to the US search company, with a warning that it was not prepared to compromise on internet censorship to stop Google leaving.

China to bid on US high-speed rail projects
By JOE McDONALD (AP)

BEIJING — China plans to bid for contracts to build U.S. high-speed train lines and is stepping up exports of rail technology to Europe and Latin America, a government official said Saturday.

China has built 4,000 miles (6,500 kilometers) of high-speed rail for its own train system and President Barack Obama issued a pledge in November with his Chinese counterpart, Hu Jintao, to cooperate in developing the technology.

“We are organizing relevant companies to participate in bidding for U.S. high-speed railways,” Wang Zhiguo, a deputy railways minister, told a news conference.

China lobs charges back at United States
By Aileen McCabe, Canwest News ServiceMarch 13, 2010 3:08 AM

Not one to turn the other cheek these days, China issued a report Friday on human rights violations by the U.S.

A day after the State Department pointed the finger at China in its annual report on human rights abuses in 194 countries, Beijing responded in kind, accusing Washington of “posing as the world judge of human rights again.”

The Chinese said the U.S. continues to “turn a blind eye to, or dodge and even cover up rampant human rights abuses on its own territory.”

American cities fight for Google’s attention
By Tim Conneally | Published March 9, 2010, 6:13 PM

One month ago, Google put the word out that it was looking to build and test its own fiber-to-the-home networks in a couple of cities. The speeds would be up to 1 Gbps and the reach would initially be about 50,000 homes.

Immediately, hundreds of cities began making pitches to attract Google’s attention, some earnest, some outlandish.

Topeka, Kansas unofficially renamed itself “Google” for the month and garnered a considerable amount of attention; Sarasota, Florida quickly followed suit and re-named its City Island “Google Island”.

Microsoft executives have indicated repeatedly throughout 2010 that the company intends to stay in China and compete aggressively for the search and cloud-computing markets, despite some controversy between the Chinese government and Google earlier in the year that saw the search-engine giant briefly threatening to pull its operations from the country. Both Microsoft and Google lag behind homegrown Chinese search engine Baidu in that market, considered one of the world’s fastest-growing. Both Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer and Google CEO Eric Schmidt have reaffirmed their commitment to human rights within the context of doing business in China.

The most recent sign appeared with the publication of a government-approved book by Senior Col. Liu Mingfu that urges China to “sprint” toward becoming the world’s most powerful state.

BEIJING — Prime Minister Wen Jiabao crafted a portrait of a China on a steady course toward greatness on Friday, telling his nation’s unelected legislature that the government could expand social spending, increase lending, pour money into strategic industries and still meet its traditional 8 percent economic growth target in 2010.

Censorship is the name of the game in China’s media market. If you aren’t willing to filter out content the government finds unacceptable, you aren’t allowed to do business with the nation’s over 1 billion people. For most companies, that’s too tempting a target to miss. Blind compliance has been a typical precedent in the past.

Twenty-five years ago today, the brutally beaten body of U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration Agent Enrique S. “Kiki” Camarena was discovered wrapped in plastic bags and dumped along a road near a ranch 60 miles southwest of Guadalajara, Mexico – a death that continues to echo even now throughout the agency.

The veteran agent, along with his pilot, Capt. Alfredo Zavala Avelar, had been viciously tortured by the bosses of a Mexican drug cartel fearful that he had uncovered a multimillion-dollar smuggling operation tied to top officers in the Mexican army, along with Mexican police and government officials.

David’s Mighty Men

8 These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Josheb-basshebeth a Tahchemonite; he was chief of the three. He wielded his spear against eight hundred whom he killed at one time.

9 And next to him among the three mighty men was Eleazar the son of Dodo, son of Ahohi. He was with David when they defied the Philistines who were gathered there for battle, and the men of Israel withdrew.

10 He rose and struck down the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clung to the sword. And the LORD brought about a great victory that day, and the men returned after him only to strip the slain.
