Only if you consider yuppies with business degrees from Yale and Harvard terrorists, McGrath. BTW, I've seen some interesting things on electronic warfare and concerns about it as the West becomes more and more dependent on the internet (most business-to-business commerce goes over the internet these days, for example and our banking systems are highly dependent on it). Funny thing was that someone interviewed on the PBS program "Frontline" thought that there was evidence that someone, somewhere was experimenting with just that sort of attack. He claimed that several internet outages and incidents blamed on computer viruses were really deliberate attacks on the internet by a foreign power trying to see what was and wasn't possible. Oddly enough, I was reading about the same thing in book on electronic warfare where the author pointed out that one nation in particular had the interest and the resources to do such a thing: The People's Republic of China. Did anyone realize China have the largest number of programmers of any nation in the world? And they're damned good. We work with them and I can tell you from personal experience that they're good.
