Bards of the powerful

Far from challenging the G8's role in Africa's poverty, Geldof and Bono
are giving legitimacy to those responsible

'Hackers bombard financial networks", the Financial Times reported on
Thursday. Government departments and businesses "have been bombarded
with a sophisticated electronic attack for several months". It is being
organised by an Asian criminal network, and is "aimed at stealing
commercially and economically sensitive information". By Thursday
afternoon, the story had mutated. "G8 hackers target banks and
ministries", said the headline in the Evening Standard. Their purpose
was "to cripple the systems as a protest before the G8 summit." The
Standard advanced no evidence to justify this metamorphosis.

'Realism is seductive because once you have accepted the reasonable
notion that you should base your actions on reality, you are too often
led to accept, without much questioning, someone else's version of what
that reality is. It is a crucial act of independent thinking to be
skeptical of someone else's description of reality.'-
Howard Zinn
