Are political journalists falling prey to technological misdirection?
NIEMAN WATCHDOG, HARVARD UNIVERSITY | April 14, 2008
David has a new article out. This time, though, it's not in a ZATZ magazine. Instead, it's running in the Nieman Watchdog of the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard University.

In this important perspective piece, David suggests five important points journalists are overlooking when it comes to the missing White House emails.

The coming cyberwar
COUNTERTERRORISM MAGAZINE | AUTUMN 2008
As you probably know, Russia has attacked Georgia (Tblisi, not Atlanta) with tanks and troops. However, before the physical attack, there was a cyberattack against many of Georgia's online resources.

Move over IEDs: The age of ICCDs (Improvised Computer Controlled Devices) may soon be upon us
COUNTERTERRORISM MAGAZINE | WINTER 2008
We all know the devastating damage IEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices) have caused our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Washington Post estimates that 60% of U.S. deaths in Iraq are the result of IEDs. While diabolically effective, IEDs are still stupid devices, in that virtually none of them have on-board intelligence. Unfortunately, it's only a matter of time before our enemies decide to incorporate intelligence into their improvised destruction and intelligence-gathering apparatus. This analysis (Web version to be published) described the risk in terrifying detail.
