Pentagon Confirms Cyber Command, Under NSA Control

eldavojohn writes "The Pentagon's been planning a cyber command for a while now but it's just been confirmed. The Pentagon will set up a Cyber Command outfit most likely around — surprise surprise — Fort George G. Meade in Maryland. From the article, 'The head of the Cyber Command would also be the director of the U.S. National Security Agency, which conducts electronic surveillance and communications interception and is also based at Fort Meade.' The Air Force has been no stranger to digital warfare."

    Don't worry. Your government wants to take away your guns.

    I'll forgive nothing. The absence of perspective from your second comment is more revealing.

    I'm suggesting that an invading army, who has invaded on a foundation of lies and profiteering, has no right to be there, and should be attacked viciously until they leave. You believe in the same principle, unless the invading country is us. You fail the most basic moral principle there is, and that is to expect out of others what you expect out of yourself.

    A more direct comparison would be to say that Afghanistan had no right to attack the Russians who invaded in 1980. Forget the fact that the Afghan government requested Moscow's help in defeating militant fundamentalist muslims, a cause we seem somewhat attached to these days. In a country with zero moral compass, these details are simply insignificant.
