America's War on the Web
An anonymous reader writes "The Sunday Herald is reporting that while the US is continuing to pursue traditional means of protecting national security, they are also planning to launch a new wave of 'information warfare' to help combat a perceived growing threat of IT security. From the article: 'The Pentagon has already signed off $383 million to force through the document's recommendations by 2009. Military and intelligence sources in the US talk of "a revolution in the concept of warfare". The report orders three new developments in America's approach to warfare [...] the Pentagon says it will wage war against the internet in order to dominate the realm of communications, prevent digital attacks on the US and its allies, and to have the upper hand when launching cyber-attacks against enemies.'"
I think the points I've made disprove your assumption and show you have a biased opinion of the USA. I'm sorry to hear that.
/. is so much more entertaining when you assume the mistakes and foolishness of other posts are there for your benefit. Feel free to take that either way.
I've decided to read all comments as pithy tongue-in-cheek slices of wry insight.
Literalism isn't a form of humor, it's you being irritating.
...and you get modded troll for crying out for sanity :(
You put way too much emphasis on the mod points. If you truly want to find insight you need to find it for yourself, not by what others think. ;) I turned off mod points and browse at -1. It surprises me how much insight and humor I was missing out on before.
You're nothing; like me.
