By the end of 2006 neutrino astronomy reached two long-anticipated milestones: the first stable detector deployments in the deep Mediterranean and the initial operation of a significant fraction of the first kilometer-scale instrument at the South Pole. Although kilometer-scale neutrino detectors such as IceCube are discovery instruments, their conceptual design is very much anchored to the observational fact that Nature produces protons and photons with energies in excess of 1020 eV and 1013 eV, respectively. The puzzle of where and how Nature accelerates the highest energy cosmic particles is unresolved almost a century after their discovery. From energetics considerations we anticipate to detect neutrinos pointing back at the source(s) of both the galactic and extragalactic cosmic rays; the precise event rates are subject to astrophysical uncertainties. In the context, we discuss the results of the AMANDA and IceCube neutrino telescopes which will deliver a kilometer-square-year of data over the next 3 years.
