just two weeks ago, american hotels were the target of bombings in jakarta that killed eight people and injured six americans. six americans were among the 164 people killed in the attacks in mumbai in november of 2008. three americans were among the 54 killed in the attack on the marriott hotel in islamabad in september of 2008. so, if 9/11 happened in a web 1.0 world, terrorists are certainly in a web 2.0 world, now. and, many of the technological tools that expedite communication today were in their infancy or didn't even exist in 2001. so, therefore, more than just hardware, we need new thinking. when we add a prominent former computer hacker to our homeland security advisory council, as i just did, it helps us understand our own weakness, that could be exploited by our adversaries. and the threats we face are by their very nature asymmetrical and terrorism has become privatized violence and not related by links to an army or sovereign state and we often hear this is what our globalized era looks like but what is most saliently about today's environment is that it is also networked.
