Here are some more URL's. Thanks to everyone who contributed. RRE home page: <http://dlis.gseis.ucla.edu/people/pagre/rre.html> Having covered the attack and war encyclopedically for two weeks, I said I'd give it up. For a day I ruthlessly deleted the great majority of the war-related URL's that came in. But at last it began to dawn on me that (1) nothing much is happening right now except the war, and (2) nothing much except the war seems important. So despite my deleting, most of this batch of URL's ends up being about the war anyway. I'm still trying to reconstruct a sense of normalcy, though. We shall see. Here's the real test. I spent the morning of September 9th blowing off steam by writing a lengthy serious-humorous article entitled "Minor Annoyances and What They Teach Us". Having slept on it, I was going to send it out on September 11th. That didn't happen. When I feel halfway back to normal, I'll send it out. war The Folly of Quick Action in Afghanistan http://news.ft.com/ft/gx.cgi/ftc?pagename=View&c=Article&cid=FT34720G3SC&live=true&query=ghani articles on legal aspects of terrorism and the war http://lcnp.org/pubs/Bombsaway!SPE01/contents.htm US obligation under the UN Charter http://monkeyfist.com/articles/786 Terrorism and the Four Freedoms (if the liberal media existed, this is what it would be like) http://www.alternet.org/story.html?StoryID=11603 dispatches from India, Pakistan, Israel, Russia, South Africa, and Britain http://www.thenation.com/docPrint.mhtml?i=20011015&s=dispatches surreal experiences of an aid worker in Afghanistan http://www.nytimes.com/2001/09/30/magazine/30AFGHAN.html?pagewanted=all more guides to attack and war resources http://wtc.blogspot.com/ http://www.journalism.berkeley.edu/weblinks/ "This American Life" shows about the attack http://www.thislife.org/ra/194.ram http://www.thislife.org/ra/193.ram Biological Warfare Defense Vaccine Research and Development Programs http://www.defenselink.mil/pubs/ReportonBiologicalWarfareDefenseVaccineRDPrgras-July2001.pdf Chemical and Biological Weapons Nonproliferation Project http://www.stimson.org/cwc/ Subway by Trade Center to Take Years to Rebuild http://www.nytimes.com/2001/09/28/nyregion/28SUBW.html New York City Department of Health Response to Terrorist Attack http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5038a1.htm Campus Computing Officials Replace a Meeting With a Videoconference http://chronicle.com/free/2001/09/2001092801t.htm Fans of Term Limits Changing Their Tune http://www.nyobserver.com/pages/story.asp?ID=4890 security and civil liberties Face Recognition Useless for Crowd Surveillance http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/21916.html http://www.dodcounterdrug.com/facialrecognition/FRVT2000/documents.htm Biometrics in Airports http://www.extremetech.com/article/0,3396,s%253D1024%2526a%253D15070,00.asp Hackers "Branded as Terrorists" http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_1568000/1568302.stm http://www.osopinion.com/perl/story/13792.html Bush Law-Enforcement Plan Troubles Both Right and Left http://www.nytimes.com/2001/09/28/national/28RIGH.html National Security Needs More Humans, Not More Data http://www0.mercurycenter.com/premium/opinion/columns/security27.htm September Attacks Prompt Sharp Debate on Scope of Surveillance Law http://www.law.com/cgi-bin/nwlink.cgi?ACG=ZZZ1NUCI6SC "it's not just the airports; it's the airplanes" http://www.tnr.com/100101/easterbrook100101_print.html Experts Ridicule Bush Airliner Shoot-Down Order http://news.findlaw.com/politics/s/20010928/attackplanespolicydc.html Safety First, Part One: The Law Governing Our Borders and Skies http://writ.news.findlaw.com/aronson/20010927.html The Vital ID Almost Anyone Can Get (this problem has been well-known for fifteen years) http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/asection/la-000077712sep28.story "United We Stand" -- Or Else http://www.wired.com/news/conflict/0,2100,47117,00.html curious pattern of deletions from online press stories http://www.bushnews.com/censored.htm Why the Hague Convention to Strangle E-Commerce and Internet Free Speech http://writ.news.findlaw.com/commentary/20010927_sprigman.html everything else end-users' collective to warn one another about virus outbreaks http://www.silicon.com/bin/bladerunner?30REQEVENT=&REQAUTH=21046&14001REQSUB=REQINT1=47812 Open Source Intelligence http://openflows.org/ Philanthropy News Digest: Technology Resources for Nonprofits http://fdncenter.org/pnd/npotech/ Free Wireless Networking Movement Gathers Speed http://www.infoworld.com/articles/hn/xml/01/09/26/010926hnfreewireless.xml http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1004-200-7301549.html survey of the very odd state of the economy, esp. in comparison to Japan http://www.nytimes.com/2001/09/30/magazine/30ECONOMY.html?pagewanted=print technology and identity, MIT, 10 October 2001 http://identity.media.mit.edu/ another instructive article about the reality of B2B commerce http://www.nytimes.com/2001/09/26/technology/ebusiness/26TREA.html?pagewanted=print end
