[imc-uk-emergency] [feature] proposal on cyberactions/attacks

[ionnek]

hi chris and all,
have edited your feat.
took the "calls on this site" out, replaced by reports on this site.
changed the italy bit cause it was cryptic to me, but pp can read about it 
on the contrast org link (tha for that!)
still not happy cause al jazeera attack is not what I perceive as a 
sensible political action in cyberspace!!
pls improve.

White on blue:	WAR ON THE INTERNET

Yellow:         Cyberattacks against Al-Jazeera website

<p>The US/UK war against Iraq, as well as the protests against it, have 
implications on the internet. The
<a href="http://english.aljazeera.net">English version</a> of the
<a href="http://www.aljazeera.net">Al-Jazeera website</a> has been <a 
href="http://uk.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=59631&amp;group=webcast">attacked</a> 
in the form of a <acronym title="Distributed Denial of Service 
Attack">DDoS</a>
attack.  The
<a 
href="http://uk.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=59685&amp;group=webcast">days 

old site</a> was knocked off the internet.<br>
English language news sites in the region: <a

Al Jazeerah sites</a> | <a href="http://english.daralhayat.com/">Dar Al 
Hayat</a>  | <a

<p>Several posts report about <a 
href="http://uk.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=59548&group=webcast">electronic 
disobedience<a/>,
<a 
href="http://uk.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=59787&amp;group=webcast">virtual 

sit-ins</a>, the use of
<a 
href="http://uk.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=59763&amp;group=webcast">internet 

war tools</a> and
<a 
href="http://uk.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=59739&amp;group=webcast">eAction</a> 
against the pro-war lobby
amongst others. Actions on the internet such as <a 
href="http://www.contrast.org/why_netstrike.php">Netstrikes</a> have become 
part of protests and are increasingly being policed. Heated
<a href="http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2002/2/1/18841/51351">debates</a> on
techy sites are ongoing.</p>
