There's a new one for my mailbox: Turkish Anti-Terror Spam

*My... not only is it spam, but those really do look

like terrorist front sites for the likes of the PKK

and ASALA.

Even though they're a NATO power

in the fringe of the turbulent Mideast,

Turkey's politics could easily pass

for South American magic realism.

I'd be betting there's some brisk

denial-of-service floodwar cyberattacks

around those sites today; and heaven

only knows what happens in the way

of traffic analysis. If I were Turkish

intelligence – and hey, who isn't? –

I'd be running one of those sites as

a honeypot myself.
