Hmmm, how is China''s electronic monitoring any different than that of the USA?

Hepting v. AT&T is a United States class action lawsuit filed in January 2006 by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) against the telecom company AT&T, in which the EFF alleges that AT&T permitted and assisted the United States Government in unlawfully monitoring the communications of a large part of the USA, including AT&T customers, businesses and third parties whose communications were routed through AT&T''s network, as well as Voice over IP telephone calls routed via the internet.

A bit like locking the barn door, etc. etc.

The Bushes and especially the Clintons invited hundreds of thousands of Asian nationals into the US to work in our top university and industrial labs.

Some fraction of these were doubtless Red Chinese agents, sent to steal information and to leave electronic moles and bots around.

This was called the H1B visa program.

Indeed, Larry Ellison, Bill Gates, and the rest of the crowd got their pet senator, Dianne Feinstein, to bring in lots of Chinese "students".

They thought they''d save money by not paying American salaries, but in fact they sold our future for money.

So don''t come crying to me now about laptops at the Olympics!

I''m always skeptical about these Government Warnings.

It seems like there is always some new fiefdom to be granted to some clown with a connection on Wall Street to create some new way to suck money out of our pockets.

Thank God the Republicans, the Business Round Table, and the US Chamber of Commerce have propelled the Chinese into the slot of dominant player in the world economy, and all for the sake of more profits for US multi-nationals such as Wal-Mart.
