ROCHESTER, NY (Wireless Flash) – President Bush’s decision to dump “Operation Infinite Justice” as the name for the U.S. war against terrorism is wreaking havoc on some net heads. Hours after the news media leaked the code name of the military action against terrorism, entrepreneurs registered every conceivable domain name with the phrase “Infinite Justice.” However, almost as quickly, government bigwigs dumped the name fearing it might offend Muslims, who believe that only God hands out “infinite” justice. As a result, “infinite justice”-related domain names are now probably worthless. But Todd Bernhard – who registered the names, infinitejustice.com and infinitejustice.org – says he can live with that if it means Muslim countries will join the war against terrorism.
