<p>Wonderful. You have now compared bush and Obama to as choice a
collection of genocidal dictators as you can find and managed to throw
in the now obligatory big brother comparison as well <br>
<br>
Purely as a history lesson to you, Louis, concentration camps started
as British internment camps for the boer people during the boer war.
Hitler extended the concept and also introduced death camps. <br>
<br>
The Soviet (and before them, Tsarist) and Chinese labor camps were a
cheap way for them to get large amounts of convict labor to mine gold,
build highways and rail lines etc in resource rich areas with
inhospitable weather. So a subtle distinction and one that wouldn't
matter much to the victims of either regime, but one that you might
bear in mind when scattering disagreeable analogies around like confetti <br>

It seems that time is coming for legal definitions of cyberwarfare, in
which we are living already. Initiatives belong to the powers that be,
the only ones with the capacity to follow or violate the rules. CS
doesn't have much influence, except through occasional media power.<br>

may observe that oppressive regimes resort to coded sanitized language
to mean illegal and criminal activities. This was anticipated by Orwell
(newspeak), and turned real with soviet labor camp (concentration),
nazism special treatment (gas chamber), maoism reeducation
(deportation), bushism and obamism extraordinary rendition (torture),
inter alia.<br>
