Here are some more URL's on all topics including the war and Microsoft. I'm making another attempt at not covering the war encyclopedically. Please do send the top 5% most important links that aren't likely to get covered in the mainstream media, especially on civil liberties and security topics. If someone produces a Web-based filtering tool that I can use, then we'll use it to do some experiments with covering the war in an encyclopedic way again.
