An interesting lesson in how blogs are now effectively showing that the wagons can circle the indians.I understand there is a US website set up like a speadsheet to allow bloggers to log info on national and local people that is revealing hitherto unknown facts that in turn reveal links that may explain unexplained results like contract awards/appointments etc. This was an unexpected consequence of Bush & Co being found out illegal wiretapping and generally spying on citizens. What does this hold for the establishment and others in the future, thay may have more resources than an individual but how will they enjoy fighting the combined resources and ideas of 100 ro 1000 bloggers – the days of unreasonable use of power without consequences by Big everything is ending.
