U.S. Has Secret Tools to Force Internet on Dictators | Danger Room | Wired.com
When Hosni Mubarak shut down Egypt’s internet and cellphone communications, it seemed that all U.S. officials could do was ask him politely to change his mind. But the American military does have a second set of options, if it ever wants to force connectivity on a country against its ruler’s wishes.
Unfortunately, says "futurist," this could be an act of war. No determination yet on crimes against humanity.
Meanwhile Obama claims internet access is an "inalienable human right," by which he apparently means inalienable right to pay a lot of money to your cable company or Verizon, whichever comes first.
