DoD vs. WWW (or, 'insert Orwellian phrase here)

As the world turns networked, the Pentagon is calculating the military opportunities that computer networks, wireless technologies and the modern media offer.
The declassified document is called "Information Operations Roadmap".

The "roadmap" calls for a far-reaching overhaul of the military's ability to conduct information operations and electronic warfare. And, in some detail, it makes recommendations for how the US armed forces should think about this new, virtual warfare.

(bbc article)

There's one final gem that the document has that really creeps me out: The document says that the US should pursue the ability to "provide maximum control of the entire electromagnetic spectrum".

From sea to shining sea, indeed. Click here to download 'Information Operations Roadmap'
