Pentagon: The global cyberwar is just beginning - CSMonitor.com
The Pentagon is rapidly preparing for cyberwar in the face of alarming and growing threats, say senior defense officials, who add that sophisticated attacks have prompted them to take the striking step of investigating the feasibility of expanding NATO’s collective defense tenet to include cyberspace.
But as such planning intensifies, the military is struggling with some basics of warfare – including how to define exactly what, for starters, constitutes an attack, and what level of cyberattack warrants a cyber-reprisal.

Who says cyber any more except when they're trying to make something sound really spooky?
Well, anyway. The real question here is, why would anybody think the Air Force would have any better handle on cyberwar (woo woo) than the bunch of regular civilian IT guys and computer scientists (and hackers) who've been dealing with this whole thing all along, since even before the Air Force started drawing flow charts? And if there is a reason, why don't we know?
