So, where do the bloggers come into play?

It’s the government’s idea of a really bad day: Washington’s Metro trains shut down. Seaport computers in New York go dark. Bloggers reveal locations of railcars with hazardous materials.” That’s right: bloggers are the new terrorists.
The AP obtained classified government documents detailing mock disasters in the Homeland Security Department’s “Cyber Storm” wargame. DHS runs the tests with “with help from the State Department, Pentagon, Justice Department, CIA, National Security Agency and others,” in order to make sure all the agencies are prepared for the inevitable blogger war.

That’s from Gawker.

Here’s the AP story.

A snippet:

Imagined villains included hackers, bloggers and even reporters. In one scenario, after mock electronic attacks overwhelmed computers at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, an unspecified “major news network” airing reports about the attackers refused to reveal its sources to the government. Other simulated reporters were duped into spreading “believable but misleading” information that confused the public and financial markets, according to the government’s documents.

Read them both. Interesting.
