I, too, grew accustomed to this being a passive list and enjoyed just
listening to what others were talking about. Fred, I really think
that you did a great job. Don't think that because nobody was
contributing much, or because there was a little debate on what was
pertinent distract you. Most people that I know of are so new to IW
that they prefer just listening, learning, and observing until they
feel they have something meaningful to say. I, for one, have just
started tackling Vernon Stagg's biblio (a significant challenge), and
don't have much news/personal experience/expertise to share. Aside
from my Ph.D. work in computer security under Dick Kemmerer and UCSB,
I don't have a significant amount of time to dedicate to this. It is
more of a hobby.
So, that being said, and seeing as many others, like me are
transitioning from a passive list to an active list, lets get some
action. Here is a topic that I propose.
Lets say you are one angry person. You are not a citizen of the US
(you don't even live in the US--anywhere else will do), yet you
perceive the US as the cause (directly or indirectly) of all of your
problems (having lived 2 years in Russia, I know that this happens).
You have a brain and a lot of will power. You want to *really* hurt
the US, but you lack: resources (manpower and money). However, you
have a lot of time. You have access to literature (assume any
literature that has been produced on- or off-line). And you have
access to the Internet via some home computer (maybe even a
workstation). How would you try to inflict as much damage as you
could?
The question as basic "how to" elements, but that is not the focus of
my question. Rather, how would *you* do it? What do you perceive as
the best way to hurt the US? And how would you go about exploiting
that vulnerability?
Further, since not everybody who listens to this list will contribute
(we know you NSA guys love these lists), and since those who know the
most say the least, feel free to contribute as much as you can. If
anybody cares to participate and clarify their background, impetus for
getting involved in IW (or Information Operations), and their current
relationship to it, please do so.
