Couple of interesting stuff in today's news..(NANDO.net)

(1)What does Iraq has to say about internet:
An Iraqi government newspaper has declared the Internet 
"the end of civilizations, cultures, interests and ethics."

Now this is what I call as an official STATEMENT and a good debate
topic...internet has certainly made cultures "talk" to each other
but are cultures getting "destroyed" by internet?

(2)Croatian authorities said Tuesday that they were launching an
investigation after three high school students reportedly broke into the 
Pentagon's computer system via the Internet, Croatian state radio said.

Ummm...they do have computers....

Cheers,
