Baghdad -- Apparently in response to a blanket e-mail campaign by the U.S.
military urging dissent and defections, the Iraqi government shut down --
at least temporarily -- all Internet access and the country's two e-mail
servers.
Although no official explanation was given, e-mail service stopped
midafternoon on Friday. Some service was resumed Saturday morning.
LOL!! We SPAMMED the Iraqi's. LOL!!! Warfare takes on a new low.

Well, no, not really, because it's not commercial, it's .gov. </pedant>

It's not Unsolicited Commercial Email.

Spam the other pink meat. Idunno it might be cheaper than deploying in the area but that bridge has already been crossed.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
