Bruce Schneier: Has U.S. started an Internet war?
I've long suspected 90% of the budgets and bills they are trying to pass is to help them <i>offensively</i> against other countries. And yet, 100% of their arguments in public were that they are needed for <i>defense</i>.<p>The government seems to be lying about a lot of things it's doing in your name. You may be okay with it, but just don't act surprised when the retaliation begins, which of course the US government will make it seem like <i>they</i> started it, and now they need even more money and you having fewer liberties to help in the "cyberwar" that they started.<p>And just like that the "cyberwarfare industry complex" will keep expanding just like the "military industry complex" for decades to come, if nobody wants to do anything to stop it before it can't be stopped anymore, and its budgets will keep increasing year after year, with no one daring to touch them.
