 Warez (pronounced "war-ehs" is an infamous village in southern Mexico
 that
 was once a training camp for CIA
counter-insurgency computer terrorism
recruits.  Furnished with the highest end computer hacking equipment by  the
 US Government, under the direction of Oliver
North, they went rogue when  the
 program was discontinued during the Iran-Contra
scandal.  After their
payroll was cut, the village, ironically, hired itself out to  international
 terrorist concerns to perform paid attacks on US
commerce.  This  situation
 was exacerbated by an abortive attempt to invade
Warez by Puerto Rican
commandos under the direction of the US military in 1997.  This has since
been known as the "Bay of Warez" disaster.
