] Internet--has the potential to provide our nation's
] enemies or potential enemies with computing capabilities
] that are restricted by U.S. law," McBride said. "A
] computer expert in North Korea who has a number of
] personal computers can download the latest version of
] Linux...and in short order build a virtual
] supercomputer."
