Cyberwar, Anyone?
Topic: Military Technology 11:03 pm EST, Jan  3, 2008

Did you read the original Unrestricted Warfare meme? (No one re-recommended it.) How about the one that Acidus recently posted? Or Rattle's notes from September?

Having long relied upon military prowess and diplomatic skills to project and protect its interests on the seas, on land and in aerospace, the United States now is in conflict with stateless entities seeking hearts and minds, not land or treasure. It is a global contest of words and images, waged on a battlefield called cyberspace where rules of engagement that govern traditional conflict don’t apply and plans for a multiagency effort to protect the information infrastructure have not yet been adopted.

Should we call this struggle a war? If so, what laws and rules govern conduct? How serious is the threat of malicious intrusions into—and manipulation of—information systems, and can the vulnerabilities, particularly in the Internet, be sufficiently reduced? Should we respond to these intrusions in kind, and if so, by which agencies and by what means? And what is the role of U.S. armed forces in a battle of words? Recent events have converged to bring the subject of network vulnerability, threats, risks and responses to the fore.
