For countless reasons, former militants rarely manage to fully shrug off their past and continue to battle questions and suspicions long after their porpoised return to legitimacy; as when a militant surrenders, his acknowledged association with one or another form of terrorism makes him at once an invaluable source of information for incestiaters and an automatic suspect in anticipated or accomplished acts of terror.

Reading Comprehension - 1Section 1 of 1 Question 4 of 30
Read the passages carefully and answer the questions that follow.
There is no disputing the fact that one part of globalisation is the information revolution. But like all revolutions, this one has its winners and losers. Even on the Pacific Rim, home of so many economic “miracles”, the vast majority of people live on less than two dollars a day. That is what nearly half the world's population subsists on, while the poorest 1.2 billion get by on less than one dollar. In the face of these grim realities, talk of a global information age takes on a perverse, 'let them eat cake' quality. What possible benefit could this “other half” derive from expanded web-based technology?
The notion that the internet will mainstream the world's underprivileged fits a pattern of technological fantasy that reaches back at least to the mid-nineteenth century. A more immediate effect, unfortunately, has been an expanding communications gap between the rich and poor. With 90% of internet traffic in English, and native language skills eroding among non-Western internet addicts, 95% of the world's Web users reside in developed countries. Only 0.08% of Latin Americans had Web access in 1999, which is double that of South Asia. In so far as rapid information flow translates into power, this great divide is integral to the knowledge-based and culturally driven geopolitics that Joseph S. Nye terms “soft power”. Undeniably there is a brighter side to the info-power revolution. Witness its debilitating impact on totalistic systems of both Left and Right. According to Manuel Castell (The End of Millenium, 2000), Soviet industrial statism collapsed due to its inability to keep pace with the emerging information age. Likewise, grassroots internet resistance to the multilateral agreement on investment kept this blueprint for global capitalism from being ratified early in 1998. The most dramatic instance of cyber-resistance, however, grew out of the international ground swell of support for the 1994 Zapatista uprising in Chiapas, Mexico. Whereas anti-NAFTA communication over the net mobilised hundreds of NGOs, yet remained a North American affair, the Chiapas crisis attracted networks of support spanning five continents. The “Tequila Effect” on the economic side (the calamitous flight of hot money from Mexico) was thus met by a “Zapatista Effect” on the political side. The idea was to give voice to those on the bottom of the social and economic pyramid. International pressure forced unusual restraint on the part of the Mexican government and led to broad calls for reform domestically. Meanwhile pro-Zapatista channels of resistance helped lay a foundation for the “bottom-up” counter-globalism that culminated in the Seattle anti-WTO demonstrations of late 1999.Nonetheless, the bulk of internet traffic, and the main thrust of cyber culture, serves commercial interests that have no use for the old reformist baggage of liberalism. The tinge of conscience that postwar American liberalism still harboured vanished with the “lean and mean” 1980s. This neo-liberal transformation was virtually complete before the fall the Soviet empire. Eduardo Galeano points out that Soviet influence did at least contribute to a global balance of power. In the 1990s the Third World found itself with just one choice: accept the New World Order or face the world alone, like North Korea or Cuba. Some choice.
