    OpinionJournal - http://www.opinionjournal.com/forms/printThis.html?id=110010862 PRINT WINDOW CLOSE WINDOW BY JAMES TARANTO Wednesday, November 14, 2007 12:02 p.m. Today's Video on WSJ.com: Bret Stephens interviews reformed jihadist Tawfik Hamid. Tenured 'Hacktivists' Back in 1998, the New York Times carried a story on "hacktivism," which it defined as "computer hacking . as a means to a political end." Online vandals had broken into government computer systems in China, India, Indonesia, Serbia and Croatia, and inserted their own messages. Another tactic was the denial-of-service attack, in which "an unusually large volume of requests will overwhelm the computer that is serving up the target's Web pages. This can cause legitimate visitors to see error messages instead of the pages they are seeking, and it can even crash the server computer." An outfit called Electronic Disturbance Theater had used denial-of-service attacks against America's defenses: On Nov. 22 [1998], the group says, it plans to attack the Web site of the School of the Americas, a United States Army training center for foreign military personnel, some of whom have been accused of human rights abuses. Recent targets have included the sites of Mexico's President, Ernesto Zedillo, and of the United States Defense Department. This worried U.S. officials, even during the Clinton administration: Security experts said the recent spate of digital vandalism underscores the risk to companies and governments that increasingly rely on the Internet for commerce and communication. ''What this demonstrates is the capacity of groups with political causes to hack into systems,'' said Michael A.

Nicholson, Jack’s namesake and maybe even his father, a soft little dapper Irishman in glasses. He kept neatly combed what was left of his red hair and had long ago separated from Jack’s mother, their high school romance gone the way of any available drink. They told Jack that John had once been a great ballplayer and that he decorated store windows, all five Steinbachs in Asbury Park, though the only place Jack ever saw this man was in the bar, day-drinking apricot brandy and Hennessy, shot after shot, quietly waiting for the mercy to kick in.
