A TOP US Republican made a bit of security boo-boo when he twittered details of his trip around Iraq and Afghanistan.

Republican Pete Hoekstra, who has slammed the unauthorised leaking of classified information in the past, gave the terrorists 12 hours notice to show up with a car bomb by publishing his itinerary on Twitter.

Fortunately for him, terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan either don't twitter or don't think Hoekstra is worth killing. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
