the Internet serves as an enabler—providing broad access to an array of information on targets, their vulnerabilities and the design of weapons.

How did the government design something that works? The internet was designed to do exactly these things in the event of an all out nuclear war.

The Internet is often thought an egalitarian blessing by those who would hold high criminals accountable, yet the only accounting rendered is online. I don’t think the guilty regard this as an unfortunate development. I think we’ve been corralled into cyberspace, taken as freedom its “free speech zones,” and adopted its virtual and vulnerable bantustans as our “domains.” (Appropriately so called, since its mastery entered mass culture as a euphemism for masturbaton.) We can win the blog wars, but we may as well have been playing World of Warcraft for all the difference it will make when the power goes out and we lose our connection. The connection for which we may have forsaken many others of much higher worth.
