THE TIME WE WASTED PLAYING VIDEO GAMES
Turns out to be useful when fighting a war. "Give me a geek anytime," Mr. Rickey said, adding that young men who play a lot of video and computer games have the smarts and the keen hand-eye coordination the new Army needs.

THE DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN NEARS ITS END.
The government has, understandably, sought to avoid the obvious consequences of revealing Iraq's role in the anthrax killings. The level of precision with which the FBI detailed the profile of the anthrax killer was itself enough to warrant suspicion. After all, the details of the anthrax letters were less than 1% of what we knew contemporaneously about the UNABOMBER, a case in which it finally took his own brother to identify him.
So while the timing, source, sophistication, motive and modus operandi all pointed to al-Qaeda and Iraqi involvement, the FBI delayed the day of reckoning long enough to see our Afghan campaign through to a more solid footing, and, apparently, likely end. Now that the time draws nigh, expect to see more articles like this one in the Post linking Iraq to the anthrax killings and building the case for a second Bush-Iraq war.

WEB WAR JOURNALISM COMES OF AGE.
Wonder what it's like to have a chat with a colleague in the midst of a warzone?
"Which one was Miek again?"
"Mike was the dead one."
The web delivers the unpolished opinions of thousands to your desktop. Perhaps media companies will become less of a structured hierarchical entity and more of a branding or "seal of approval" for web reporters, mezines, etc.
