FBI To War On Bloggers
Bloggers beware.
A newly declassified document gives a fascinating glimpse into the US military's plans for "information operations" - from psychological operations, to attacks on hostile computer networks.
Bloggers beware.
As the world turns networked, the Pentagon is calculating the military opportunities that computer networks, wireless technologies and the modern media offer.
From influencing public opinion through new media to designing "computer network attack" weapons, the US military is learning to fight an electronic war.

We gave up on our freedom and rights one by one, and look where we are. I hope it won't happen to another nation. I think people must not let it, and it's possible. |
