Many people have questioned the availability of sensitive info, while many others have countered that hush-hush material is not to be sent on the net. Let's not look at it from just an intelligence point of view. There are many people, old and young alike, who have either a misunderstanding or a cloudy view of the Soviet people. The better the communication between our two countries the better we both are in the long run. Fact is that people(in general) are more afraid to hurt those they know. I think that Soviet net sites would be great in bettering this communication gap. Who knows they my even go for portals. Within the next president or so there may be someone in the White House who is computer or even net literate. Remember, ideals give us something to hope for.
