George Orwell was born in 1903 and died in 1950 after a long struggle with tuberculosis. Early in life he learned to be suspicious of authority and to hate empire while developing a compassion for the poor. In 1936 he joined the Spanish Civil War, like thousands of volunteers who joined the Lincoln Brigade to fight on the side of the republic against fascist Gen. Francisco Franco and his Falange Party. More than half of the volunteers died in battle. Orwell was injured and nearly died.

Boston, MA (AHN) - U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff on Monday warned that the Internet provides all the necessary information and communication provision that can transform a vulnerable person into a home grown attacker. Chertoff said that the disaffected people may develop radical ideologies and may acquire potentially violent skills over the Web that could pose a serious threat to U.S. security.

"We now have a capability of someone to radicalize themselves over the Internet," Chertoff said on the sidelines of a meeting of International Association of the Chiefs of Police.
