Cyberwar

More evidence that the Russian invasion of Georgia was very premeditated:

Weeks before physical bombs started falling on Georgia, a security researcher in suburban Massachusetts was watching an attack against the country in cyberspace.

Jose Nazario of Arbor Networks in Lexington noticed a stream of data directed at Georgian government sites containing the message: win+love+in+Rusia.

Other Internet experts in the United States said the attacks against Georgia’s Internet infrastructure began as early as July 20, with coordinated barrages of millions of requests — known as distributed denial of service, or D.D.O.S., attacks — that overloaded certain Georgian servers.

The Georgian government blamed Russia for the attacks, but the Russian government said it was not involved.

Sadly, it looks like they're going to get away with it. If the ceasefire holds Russia wins and if it doesn't Georgia definitely loses. Sometimes I wish we could just finally have it out with Russia and get it over with. The hardest part about living through history is waiting for the other shoe to drop.
