National Security Presidential Directive 16
posted by scubacuda on Friday February 07, @07:47PM
from the do-as-we-say-not-as-we-do dept.
Security The Washington Post and MSNBC report that Bush signed a secret directive ordering the government to develop a national-level guidance for determining when and how the United States would launch cyber-attacks against enemy computer networks. (National Security Presidential Directive 16 was signed last July but hasn't been disclosed publicly until now.) Skeptics express reservations about the United States engaging in cyber-attacks, arguing that the United States' own enormous dependence on computer networks makes it highly vulnerable to counterattack.
