Hah, this reminds me of that 'control of the internet' issue..
"A UN-sponsored Internet conference ended with little progress on the issue of US control over the domain name system run by ICANN, a California-based nonprofit over which the US. government retains veto power. By controlling the core systems, the United States indirectly influences the way much of the world uses the Internet. As the conference drew to a close, the Russian representative, Konstantin Novoderejhkin, called on the United Nations secretary-general to create a working group to develop ''practical steps'' for moving Internet governance ''under the control of the international community.'' The United States insists that the existing arrangements ensure the Internet's stability and there's little indication that the US government and ICANN plan to cede their roles over domain names anytime soon. ''I think (there are) a small number of countries that are very agitated and almost don't care what the facts are,''
Count Pakistan as one of those countries that "don't care what the facts are" or how the hell the internet works for that matter.

is there an article that talks about the technical aspects of the youtube outage? is it really all that easy to remove a site from international access? or re-route it to a malicious one?
The leadership of Pakistan just created a massive Denial of Service on their own country.
Wow, wtg Pakistan. You just insured that Youtube will be slammed with every manner of insulting content you could possibly take offense. Enjoy!
LOL! Thanks Ant and Digg for removing Pakistan off the Internet.
You cannot make anything fool-proof. The fools are too inventive
