Nearly 15 percent of the world's Internet traffic -- including data from the Pentagon, the office of Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and other U.S. government websites -- was briefly redirected through computer servers in China last April, according to a congressional commission report obtained by the Washington Times.

It was immediately unclear whether the incident was deliberate, but the April 18 redirection could have enabled malicious activities and potentially caused an unintended "diversion of data" from many U.S. government, military and commercial websites, the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission states in a report to Congress.

This is scary and unreal that our Government even allowed this to happen!!  :o :banghead: :argh:

And this will lend further credence to the left's desire for Obama to be able to take control of and shut the internet down.

WHAT.THE.****. :argh:
Why is it that China is more and more on our back doorstep? Everywhere you turn it's China, China, China. I know they lent/continue to lend us a boat load of money, (which we shouldn't have asked for), but this is CRAZY!! Something doesn't seem right at all. :mental:

They're not just buying Treasury notes from Obama, they're buying "access".

In the new remake of Red Dawn, it's the Chinese that invade the U.S., not the Russians. Art imitating life? This film has been "in the can" as they say in hollyweird for some time now.

Tinhatters are claiming...

Quote
...that the U.S. government blocked the release after one of China’s leading state-run newspapers ran two editorials criticizing the remake for demonizing that country. The back-to-back opinions were published in the Beijing-based Global Times on the heels of a visit by U.S. Secretary of State Hilary Clinton.

They are just picking up where they left off with Billy Jeff.

Same here. China senses Obama's weakness. Weakness and appeasement emboldens enemies.

Exactly. We got a limp-wristed president when it comes to protecting the United States. I use the term president, very loosely.
