. >> straight out to eric philips with wsb-tv joining us outside the command center there in blairsville, georgia. eric, what's latest? why has the search expanded into three states? >> well, nancy, the fbi has gotten involved because of the fact they believe whoever abducted kristi cornwell possibly took her from that location on jones creek road here in blairsville. possibly, possibly, across state lines, maybe into tennessee, perhaps into north carolina. because the road that's right behind me, actually if you continue on it leads into tennessee. that's why the fbi's gotten involved. what they've done is sent a couple of agents, probably three to five agents, down here to join the army of those who have been out looking for kristi cornwell for last several days. in fact, tonight, starting at 8:00 eastern, there's more roadblock situations that are forming all around this area. really crossing a three-mile radius. what they're doing is stopping and asking people, have you seen anything? i know you probably heard about the situation. did you see anything on tuesday night between 8:00 and 10:00 p

in the case with georgia, the georgians were using commercial sites in the united states. it's very doubtful our government even knew that that was taking place because you know of the number of servers in this country. so a nation could be pulled in and not even understand that they're being part of the conflict because they have no knowledge of the fact that some servers whin their country are being used. so there certainly are a number of cyber issues that came up that we need to explore in the near future to prevent some of these misunderstandings. perhaps we need a better crisis management system, one that has a special section between countries on cyber issues because certainly that was one that could have gotten out of control. it did not, but it could have. so in conclusion, i think that there were many consequences that you should be aware of regarding this particular conflict. remember that there's a big infrastructure that the russians have created in the theory side, and they're very good at that. they do an excellent job of putting this stuff together. they al
