The National Infrastructure Simulation and Analysis Center will diagram the complex links between the country's critical Internet infrastructure, such as interdependent telecom and information technology networks, electric power grids, transportation systems, and gas and oil pipelines. "The center will create an acupuncture map of the country, so we will know where to harden our protection," Clarke said in statement. --SNIP-- http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nf/20011207/tc/15181_1.html
