 Scale-free Terrorist Networks. Scale-free networks are everywhere, from power systems to weblogs to terrorist organizations. How can we defend our scale-free networks against attack? How do we disrupt the scale-free networks of non-state terrorists? This post provides some answers.

The New Blitzkrieg. Terrorism is in a process of rapid change (a phase transition in punctuated equilibrium). This shift will provide terrorist networks with a sustainable method of warfare that will enable decisive results against their nation-state opponents. The real threat isn't WMDs, its what will be named "urban take-down."
NOTE: I am going to continue working on this post for the next couple of days, it is important to get it right.

Reuters. Oil heads for a sustained price of $40 a barrel. The market expects a significant attack by terrorists on oil production. Unlike previous bubbles, there is not a mechanism to deflate the security concerns that are driving this price spike. Even small attacks on oil related infrastructure/personnel will serve to sustain these fears.
