Quoting: DizastrousPentagon Will Help Homeland Security Department Fight Domestic Cyber-attacks [link to www.nytimes.com] WASHINGTON — The Obama administration has adopted new procedures for using the Defense Department’s vast array of cyberwarfare capabilities in case of an attack on vital computer networks inside the United States, delicately navigating historic rules that restrict military action on American soil. Step by step, the keep getting around the rules. Isn't this an oxymoron like army intelligence aka Pentegon Paper days? I mean really, the military is called out for an abstract attack? Are they going to bomb an errant router? This is getting silly, to the point of being funny. It seems to me any counter internet anything worth it's salt the Goverment is using is not known to us and rightfully so, hopefully the bad guys don't know either. |
