Letters to the Editor

A bizarre, unsolicited e-mail from Gen. Petraeus' spokesman An e-mail I received this morning from Col. Steven Boylan is heavy on petty insults but extremely light on the issues that actually matter. Glenn Greenwald [2007-10-28]

• I'd watch out for ANY unsolicited email

  The wingers have a history of gotcha electronic communication; I know because I've been pw0ned myself.*

  And it's only going to get worse as we gear up for 2008 and their rage increases. It's right out of the Rovian playbook that they'd attack our strength in digital communication and a dense network of trusted though informal sources.

  Maybe it reads like a parody because it is a parody. And I can read the headlines now....

  * The underlying truth of the matter is that the Conservative movement makes no distinction between armed warfare abroad and political warfare at home. It is all the same battle to them. So consider email with faked headers, say, as a form of informational warfare. Not to be overly foily....
