Yellow nodes: I\'m suddenly reminded of how many abandoned or single-person projects there are on sourceforge. Until a project gets momentum, the leadership is not just crucial - it\'s also developers, beta testers, and userbase all in one. So the US targeting yellow nodes isn\'t so crazy - except the insurgency has a big lurker community by now.
I think some of the private space stuff can probably help - experts are great - but I don\'t think they\'ll be enough.
My intuition is that the Iraqi neighbourhood watch would need not just teeth but also flak jackets and good intel :) Seriously I think they\'d need some access to information feeds in return for registering, not necessarily everything but routine stuff. Leading to a problem of identity and tracking terrorist-trolls.
Maybe it would look more like meetup.com or k5 than sourceforge to start with.
