Here is the deal in the form of an exceprt from a news report: -------------------------------------------------------------------- The plan was to join the 83-year-old patriarch of the outlawed Unified Buddhist Church of Vietnam, Thich Huyen Quang, on June 7 and take him from house arrest in Quang Ngai province for urgent medical treatment. ------------------------------------------------------------------- The title of the email, translated to English is "Freedom or Dath." Without getting to political (since this is not the correct forum for that) this email is an electronic leaflet raising awareness about the plight of Thich Quang Do and Thich Huyen Quang, who are undergoing persecution by the Vietnamese communist government. One is currently under house arrest and the email is a call to rally for his support, specifically to free him and get medical attention. More on topic, I would not view this as a pending security threat (like the China/US or the Arab/Israel hactivist exchanges) but some parties on either side may decide to deface web servers in an attempt to garner public support. I find this somewhat unlikely. FYI, the rally is scheduled to take place on Thursday June 7th in Vietnman. Depending on how events turn out, the ramifications for us security folk may be significant or not. -geoff Michael J. Hendricks wrote: > We received this message yesterday.
