Well, if the US consider that man who made the comments about Birmingham and London to be a "terrorist expert", I have little confidence in their ability to make this world a safe place (but then, to be honest, I never did).
After the recent outburst from Anonymous, I don't have any confidence in them either.
I believe we need to behave in a calm and measured way and not rush around hysterically making threats and hurling insults.
In the future I think there is a real danger that hackers will hire themselves out to the highest bidder. Given that so many vital services are run by sophisticated computer programmes, we could increasingly be experiencing "tit-for-tat" cyber attacks that could have devastating effects.
