    Congress passes bill allowing warrantless forfeiture of private communications

    That's how I've always regarded the US (and NATO) war on terrorism.  On the international front, I see it as an attempt to remain at the top of the economic perch and prevent, or delay, the inevitable 'rise of the BRICS'.  If you look at most economic forecasts for 2040 the top 4 world...

The wholesale price Verisign charges registrars for .net's will rise to $6.79 (from the current $6.18)...
