Cyber security: The new arms race for a new front line - CSMonitor.com

Yet with this explosion in US military cyber-operations – and with the corresponding boom in the number of defense contractors to support cyber-activity – comes concern that a rapidly expanding "cyber-industrial complex" could jeopardize the openness and democratic ideals of the Internet.

I have difficulty with the concept of anonymous openness, in the first place. And in the second, what democratic ideals? (Yes I know there's that domain name board or whatever it's called, and W3C, and at least some of their members are elected, I think. But still.)
