It will be interesting to see how Mexico's election this weekend comes 
out. If Obrador wins then the NeoCons are really going to go batty. He 
could also make our immigration problems a non-issue as Mexicans might 
start staying home.

Affairs 

ARLINGTON, Va., June 29, 2006 – The Air Force Office of Scientific 
Research recently began funding a new research area that includes a 
study of blogs. Blog research may provide information analysts and 
warfighters with invaluable help in fighting the war on terrorism. 

Dr. Brian E. Ulicny, senior scientist, and Dr. Mieczyslaw M. Kokar, 
president, Versatile Information Systems Inc., Framingham, Mass., 
will receive approximately $450,000 in funding for the  3-year 
project entitled "Automated Ontologically-Based Link Analysis of 
International Web Logs for the Timely Discovery of Relevant and 
Credible Information."

Then read this, from "Rebuilding America's
Defenses: Strategy, Forces, and Resources
for a New Century," the neoconservatives'
September 2000 mission statement from the
Project for the New American Century:

"Control of space and cyberspace.

"Much as control of the high seas – and
the protection of international
commerce – defined global powers in
the past, so will control of the new
'international commons' be a key to
world power in the future. An
America incapable of protecting its
interests or that of its allies in space
or the "infosphere" will find it
difficult to exert global political
leadership."
