The BBC and other news outlets are reporting on the Pentagon’s planned expansion of the US Cyber Command. Buried in the BBC’s story, at paragraph 8, is this wonderful little tidbit:
> According to reports, the plan calls for creating three types of forces under the Cyber Command: protecting computer systems that involve electrical grids and other kinds of infrastructure, offensive operations overseas as well as protection of the defense department’s internal systems.
This is what a curmudgeon reads: ”The US Cyber Command, created three years ago to aid in the defense against and prevention of cyber terrorism, is increasing its drain on the US taxpayer. The group will expand its mission from drawing 900 salaries to 4900 salaries as soon as possible. In addition, the US Cyber Command will launch offensive terror operations overseas, entangling the United States in greater and greater webs of deceit and treachery that will inevitably lead to the loss of many civilian and military lives, as well as hundreds of millions of dollars.”
