Geeks could rule the world!

Once again the paranoia that everyone thinks that the Bush administration suffers from is shown to be true, according to this article on El Reg.

Apparently the Bush administration have connected building plans to Al Quaeda, and decided that these plans must be targets, and that all of this is connected to ongoing plans to sabotage the election in November (easy way to do that...vote for Bush again!)

Fortunately our protector of personal privacy and civil liberties stepped in to berate the Americans shitstirring:

The information on which the Bushies decided to raise the terror alert level is "of dubious worth," Blunkett said, adding that such information should be published "only if it would prove useful in preventing injury and loss of life," which he obviously believes the Bush hysteria would not do.

"There has been column inch after column inch devoted to the fact that in the United States there is often high-profile commentary, followed - as in the most current case - by detailed scrutiny with the potential risk of inviting ridicule,"

yep, i'm talking about David "I've got a prize (and not a good one) named after me" Blunkett.
