Thousands of dockworkers at 29 West Coast ports, took the day off work today in what their union called a protest of the war in Iraq, effectively shutting down operations at the busy complexes...At the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, as few as 10% of the truckers showed up to haul freight that day. Longshore workers, however, continued loading and unloading ships.

"Rob Kall has certainly acquired the firsthand experiences and knowledge gained through interviews to deliver some interesting insights about the "bottom-up" information revolution. Whereas the old 'top-down' systems created stove-pipes and excessive secrecy that blocked information sharing and led to the 'failure to connect the dots' before 9-11, the bottom-up approach should be the main fix. Kall's concept would seem to interface equally well with the founding fathers' idealism in setting forth their democratic theory of governance as with the realism that makes the multi-sourced, bottom-up Wikipedia work. As someone who shares my support of both government and corporate whistleblowing -- which is nothing more than encouraging greater horizontal sharing of information, I commend Rob Kall's important work on this topic."
