During times of war, special laws come into effect. The killing of another human being, normally considered one of the most heinous of crimes, is a legitimate practice under combat conditions. My question is this: Does the law come into play at all during cyberwarfare, or is "code" the new law, as far as the USAF is concerned? Does cyberwarfare relate more closely to a covert operation? If there is a strict legal framework for cybercombat, what are its fundamental aspects?

You're thinking of Stephen King.
Actually, "Doctor Who" is the name of the show whose lead character is known as "The Doctor". Who is not his name.
