In a very heated and emotional discussion Legion of the Underground
declared cyber-war on the information infrastructure of China and Iraq
last night. They cited severe civil rights abuses by the governments of
both countries as well as the recent sentencing to death of two bank
robbers in China and the production of weapons of mass destruction by Iraq
as the reasons for their outrage.
Quoting from the Declaration of Independence about the right of the people
to govern themselves and stating that the US government will probably
stand idly by while these atrocities happen in other countries the Legion
of the Underground called for the complete destruction of all computer
systems in China and Iraq.
"The Government controls what goes into our mouths lets not let them do
the same with what comes out!" said one LoU member during a press
conference held on IRC Monday night.
LoU mentioned that they may seek out assistance in their war from the Hong
Kong Blondes. The HKBs are a well known group attempting to cause mayhem
on China's internetworks from within the Iron Curtain. The HKBs where
trained and assisted, until recently, by the infamous Cult of the Dead Cow hacking group.
Legion of Underground gained previous notoriety back in October for defacing the Chinese Human Rights web site
a day after it went online.
