1. I especially like this part...."This article does not cite any references or sources.".

2. Seems like there have been quite a few books written about this.

My old brain is proving elusive right now, but didn`t clancy or or sombody in his genre write about this?

4. Nukes cause this pulse too

It would wipe out alot of data.May very well kill the net too.

5. Why are the crs reports not directly available?

The Congressional Research Service is the research arm of Congress. None of their reports are available at the official CRS web site, and they would be quite happy if none of their reports were available here. The University of Oregon Library includes links to other sources of CRS reports, and some of the more interesting reports also show up at the Foreign Press Center.
