| "We must intensify our effort to strengthen national defense and step up army building while going all out for economic, political, cultural and social development, so as to support and guarantee the progress of socialism with Chinese characteristics and make greater contribution to world peace," said Hu, also chairman of the Central Military Commission. Gotta love that socialism with Chinese characteristics. Anyhow, pics at the link. The modernization of the armed forces should be aimed at combat readiness, and military training should be conditioned to the age of information technologies, he said. Yes, they're doing that rather well, unfortunately. "We must aim at improving the capability to win high-tech regional wars and keep enhancing the ability of the military to respond to security threats and accomplish a diverse array of military tasks," the president said.

This will all come out in the post-mortem of the first Pearl Harbor of the Information Age. The prevailing theme of this report will be "how could they have been so mind-bogglingly stupid?"

| #2 Gromky, truer words were never spoken. The security folks have been death on cellphones ever since they put pictures in them, but don't regulate USB sticks and thumbdrives. They depend on CAC cards to protect unattended computers. |
