After the Arab network Al Jazeera showed pictures of American dead, hackers attacked their new English-language website. Viewers were diverted to images of the American flag and to messages to "support our troops."

Zealots cause problems no matter what the cause they choose to espouse. It is a very ineffective way to try to get your needs met. I find they take too much energy for me to pay attention to their message.

Since when do a couple of geeks that know way too much about computers represent America, it's people, or it's government?
